Abstract

By using helium in both the solid and the fluid state as a pressure-transmitting medium, it has been possible to measure the resistance of rubidium over the temperature range from 2° K. to room temperature at pressures up to 2500 atmospheres. In particular the effect of pressure on the transition at ~200° K., on the low temperature ideal resistivity, and on the residual resistivity was examined.
