Dear Zhangkun, In most of the metals resistivity increase with temperature (increase in mobility but more collisions).// Phenomenon of superconductivity occurs when we decrease the temperature very low. .. For semiconductors resistivity decreases with temperatrure.. Also the same with characteristics of thermistors. Conductivity is the inverse of resistivity.
