Electrical Resistivities of Dilute 3d-Transition Solutes in Liquid Tellurium

抄録

The electrical resistivities of 3d-transition solutes (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) in liquid tellurium have been measured from the melting temperature to 850°C.
The resistivity change due to the solute addition is ascribed to the following two factors; one is the change of the scattering due to the structure deformation and the other is the occurence of the s-d scattering. The former gives a negative resistivity change, whereas the latter gives a positive one.
