The electrical resistivity of dilute metallic solid solutions

Morphology and electrical resistivity of metallic nanostructures

The electrical resistivity r of Au, Al and Cu films prepared by thermal evaporation with thickness range from 3 to 100 nm on glass substrates were studied. The r value was measured and theoretically evaluated by the Fuchs–Sondheimer (F–S), the Mayadas–Shatzkes (M–S), and the combined models. Measured r values in Al films were about seven times minor than for Au and Cu films for the minimum (3 n...

Electrical Resistivity and Phase Separation in Dilute Liquid Alloys of Sodium in Selenium

The electrical resistivity of pure liquid selenium has been measured by many investigators [ 1 — 7 ] ; yet only a few of them describe the way in which their samples were prepared. Abdullaev et al. [3] and later Gobrecht et al. [4] and Koningsberger [5] have found that small amounts of oxygen have an enormous influence on the electrical resistivity of the liquid. Furthermore it was found [3, 5]...

Interplay between grain boundary segregation and electrical resistivity in dilute nanocrystalline Cu alloys

Article history: Received 10 February 2016 Received in revised form 22 May 2016 Accepted 8 June 2016 Available online xxxx The relationships betweenmicrostructure, controlled by alloying elements prone to grain boundary segregation, and electrical resistivity in sputtered nanocrystalline Cu were investigated. We find a non-monotonic dependence of themean grain size on solute concentration for b...

Effect of surface bond-order loss on electrical resistivity of metallic polycrystalline thin films

The effect of surface bond-order loss on the classical resistivity of metallic polycrystalline thin films is studied. The potential barriers due to grain boundaries considered here contain square-well depressions on both sides taking into account the effect of surface bond-order loss for the grains in a film. Electron scattering by film surfaces is also considered following the lines of Fuchs’ ...
