The electrical resistivity of antiferromagnetic (Cr
100−xV
x)-4 at.% Co alloys with
x=0, 0.3, 1, 2.5 and 3, and of a paramagnetic alloy with
x=8 is measured. A resistance minimum is observed for the alloys with
x=0 and 0.3, but is not seen for
x=1, 2.5 and 3. A large resistance minimum is found to appear again for the paramagnetic alloy. The disappearance of the minimum in the V-doped alloys corresponds well to the result obtained by applying pressure.
