Ames National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), operated by and located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
For more than 70 years, the Ames National Laboratory has successfully partnered with Iowa State University, and is unique among the 17 DOE laboratories in that it is physically located on the campus of a major research university. Many of the scientists and administrators at the Laboratory also hold faculty positions at the University and the Laboratory has access to both undergraduate and graduate student talent.

Abstract
In-plane resistivity anisotropy was measured in strain-detwinned as-grown and partially annealed samples of isovalently-substituted (…) and the results were contrasted with previous reports on anneal samples with low residual resistivity. In samples with high residual resistivity, detwinned with application of strain, the difference of the two components of in-plane resistivity in the orthorhombic phase,…, was found to obey Matthiessen rule irrespective of sample composition, which is in stark contrast with observations on annealed samples. Our findings are consistent with two-band transport model in which contribution from high mobility carriers of small pockets of the Fermi surface has negligible anisotropy of residual resistivity and is eliminated by disorder. Our finding suggests that magnetic/nematic order has dramatically different effect on different parts of the Fermi surface. It predominantly affects inelastic scattering for small pocket high mobility carriers and elastic impurity scattering for larger sheets of the Fermi surface.
