Direct measurement of resistivity in destructive pulsed magnetic fields.

A simple method for measuring electrical resistivity under destructive pulsed magnetic fields is presented. This method uses pick-up voltage as the power source to allow the measurement of the absolute value of resistivity in ultra-high magnetic fields above 100 T. The experimental setup and its operation are described in detail, and its performance is demonstrated using critical field measurements of thin-film FeSe0.5Te0.5 samples. Possible scientific applications of this setup in high magnetic fields as well as in any other environment with a high field sweep rate are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
