Extract

A method of growing single-crystal resistance specimens free, to a large extent, from strains and impurities is described. The magneto-resistance effect in cadmium single crystals has been studied in some detail at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, using sufficiently high magnetic fields to observe the linear effect found by Kapitza.

Although it proved impossible, in general, to determine the orientation of individual crystals, the experiments suggest that the “critical field” of the linear effect is dependent on the orientation of the crystal with respect to the current and magnetic field, and not on the perfection of the crystal lattice.
