Calculate Resistance of a material surrounded by a metal

I have some doubts.
>> If we have a material (suppose ZnO) and both sides metal (suppose Al). So how can i calculate the resistance for that material. When i have tried i found some problems like for ZnO (Tangent coefficient of thermal expansion, isotropic tangent coefficient of thermal expansion, electrical conductivity, relative permittivity).
>> and can we see the 2D plot of that calculated resistance with temperature (Like 0degC to 80degC).
I have taken help from following link, but it didn't help me for my model wizard. (www.comsol.co.in/model/computing-the-resistance-of-a-wire-12697)
I have attached a simple 3d structure of my model.
Please help me to perform this task.

If you enter the electrical resistivity and permittivity the model will run.
If you DON'T know these- well, you will have to get them from measurement or from the literature.
COMSOL has a great many material parameters included but not all. ZnO will be particularly complicated because (1) it is a semiconductor and (2) it is usually polycrystalline making its bulk properties dependent on grain size and (3) it might have defects that depend on processing.
