Disorder resistivity of solid neutron-star matter

arXiv:astro-ph/0407634 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.221101

Abstract

Lower limits are found for the disorder resistivity of solid neutron-star matter in the neutron-drip region which is amorphous and heterogeneous in nuclear charge. This temperature-independent resistivity, large compared with that produced by phonon scattering, has direct consequences for theories of neutron-star magnetic field generation and evolution.
