Residual resistivity due to wedge disclination dipoles in metals with rotational plasticity

Abstract

The residual resistivity $ρ$ in metals caused by wedge disclination dipoles is studied in the framework of the Drude formula. It is shown that $ρ\sim L^{-p}$ with $p=3$ for biaxial and $p=2$ for uniaxial dipoles ($L$ is a size of dipole arm)
