Title :
On the measurement of the volume conductivity of insulators

Abstract :
An improved technique using three-electrode systems for measuring the d.c. conductivity of solid insulators is described and discussed. Giving not only the volume conductivity of the sample under test, but also any contribution from edge effects and/or leakage across the sample holder, the method should be both simple and liable
