What are the anisotropic conductivities in cadmium ?

[Enthalpy]

Hi vernii, welcome here!

Sadly enough, I didn't find them in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Only one resistivity (68nΩ×m @273K), hence a mean value for a polycrystalline sample. Same at Wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivities_of_the_elements_(data_page)
I had hoped to find anisotropic heat conductivities, but, nothing neither.

Though, the crystal being hexagonal close-packed, I can imagine the conductivity is anisotropic in monocrystalline cadmium. At least these people believe it

I didn't find any single measured figure.

I read this on a website:-
For example in cadmium, it varies from 1.3 x 107 Sm-1 along the six-fold axis to 1.5 x 107 Sm-1 perpendicular to that axis.

Whats exactly it to be like along six fold axis?

Whats exactly it to be like along six fold axis?

Have you tried to google the term?

[Enthalpy]

Ouch, that's crystallography, for which I'm very weak.

I'd say 1.3×10⁷S/m in the hexagonal plane of the HCP crystal and 1.5 in the direction perpendicular to it.

[vernii]

How will the axis along the plane will be six fold as six fold means on rotating at 60° the shape is maintained.

Such symmetries have very precise meaning in crystallography, you should be able to find the explanation without problems.

[vernii]

I did not get it there thats why i have put the problem here.

[vernii]

"The hexagonal unit cell is distinguished by the presence of a single line, called an axis of 6-fold symmetry, about which the cell can be rotated by either 60° or 120° without changing its appearance"..this is what i got from there which i already knew and the only axis that comes to my mind is the perpendicular axis passing from the middle.

That's exactly the one.
