electrolytic conduction

Electronic conduction was seen as the dominant mode over electrolytic conduction.

Second, electrolytic conduction through the pore fluids is estimated from the Archie's Law.

Here, as in the past, his activities were focused on experimental and instrumental physics: he constructed instruments and devised new measuring techniques to examine electrolytic conduction in solutions.

This behaviour is consistent with that of the saturated samples and indicates that the lower rate of reduction of conductivity with pressure is not associated with electrolytic conduction but with some mechanism that becomes more efficient during compaction.

If the pressure variation were solely due to electrolytic conduction through the pore fluid, one would expect that the flat thin cracks in the carbon-bearing granulites, confirmed by optical and electron microscopy, and deduced from mercury injection porisimetry, would make the electrical conductivity more sensitive to pressure than was observed.
