Abstract: | A qualitative analysis was performed of the electromagnetic effects on a measurement cell for investigating the electrical properties of substances in a transition to the metallic state. The signal shape is significantly affected by the geometries of the measurement and power circuits, as well as by the loading system. A measurement cell design is developed which provides reliable recording of the electrical conductivity of the substance in shock waves.Institute of Hydrology and Hydrotechnology, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk.
