Theory of the residual resistivity of dilute alloys of nonmagnetic 3d–5d transition metals

The residual resistivity of dilute alloys of nonmagnetic transition metals is calculated by the kinetic equation method with allowance for the two-band character of the conduction at low impurity concentrations. It is shown that for all dilute nonmagnetic binary alloys of the substitution type the v...

Description
Summary:The residual resistivity of dilute alloys of nonmagnetic transition metals is calculated by the kinetic equation method with allowance for the two-band character of the conduction at low impurity concentrations. It is shown that for all dilute nonmagnetic binary alloys of the substitution type the value of the residual resistivity is a linear function of the square modulus of the off-diagonal s-d matrix element of the scattering T-matrix.
