Low Temperature Transport Properties: The Electrical Resistivity of Some Amorphous Alloys

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 118))

Abstract

We report on contributions to the resistivity due to quantum corrections. These effects should show up at temperatures T ≲ 30 K. The temperature-and the magnetic-field dependence of the resistivity is discussed in detail. Superconducting fluctuations are also considered. Finally, theoretical results are compared to experimental data at low magnetic fields for the amorphous alloys CuTi and CuZr. The degree of agreement obtained leads to the conclusion that quantum corrections are also important in three dimensional systems.
