Residual electrical resistivity in dilute nonmagnetic alloys of transition metals

Abstract

The residual electrical resistivity in dilute alloys of nonmagnetic transition metals is calculated within Mott's two-band model without using the electron-impurity interaction as a small parameter. The linear dependence between reduced residual electrical resistivity and square of modulus of the nondiagonal element of the scattering T matrix is found for row transition metals dilute alloys. Experimental and calculation results are compared.
