Abstract

Interpretations of large electromagnetic parameters and giant effects in electronic materials are presented. Conductivity, permittivity and permeability of certain materials can be hundred times higher than normal values. Physical phenomena of magnetoresistivity, nonlinear resistivity, electrostriction, magnetostriction, magnetocaloric and thermistor effects in some materials appear to be giant. Often, but not always, these anomalies are due to the proximity of a substance to its phase transitions. Original explanations of the listed phenomena are given, particularly, the effect of polarization on a huge change of conductivity.
