Abstract
We studied the method of complex-electrical-conductivity measurement for powders placed in a sealed tube at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies, using a cavity perturbation technique. We applied this technique to a molecular superconductor K3C60, whose electrical conduction is well known in single crystals, and reproduced the metallic conductivity with the magnitude of 0.5-1.2 mΩcm at 20 K which is in good agreement with the data for single crystals. From this result, it was found that the cavity perturbation technique works well for the conductivity measurement of anaerobic powders, with respect to metallic materials.
