  • Abstract
    A new methodology for conductivity measurements, where square metallic samples are measured with the Van der Pauw technique, has been successfully implemented. The uncertainty obtained is 0.04% and a comparison between national metrology institutes gives an agreement of the measurement values within 0.035%. Major advantages of the new method are that smaller reference samples are required and only a single dimensional measurement is needed.
