Pressure Effect on the Resistivity Minimum in (Cr₉₂V₈)-1.0 at.% Fe Alloy

Abstract

The electrical resistivity of paramagnetic (Cr₉₂V₈)-1.0 at.% Fe alloy has been measured in the temperature range from 4.2 K to room temperature at pressures up to 18.6 kbar. It is found that the resistivity minimum is little changed by pressure, which is a contrast to the large pressure dependence observed in antiferromagnetic Cr-0.6 at.% Fe alloy.
