  • Abstract
    This paper discusses recent advances on the electrical contact resistance. The basic theory of the contact resistance is vastly extended to higher dimensions, including dissimilar materials in the main current channels and in the connecting bridge joining them. Recent experiments and simulations were also performed to validate our theory.
