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