Ci. Lang et Ra. Doyle, EFFECT OF DEFORMATION ON THE TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE RESISTIVITY OF PALLADIUM-MOLYBDENUM AND PALLADIUM-TUNGSTEN ALLOYS, Journal of applied physics, 79(12), 1996, pp. 9382-9384
We have measured the temperature dependence of the resistivity of allo
ys of the palladium-molybdenum and palladium-tungsten systems between
10 and 300 K. These alloys exhibit a decrease in electrical resistivit
y after deformation, contrary to the expected increase due to increase
d scattering from dislocations. It is shown that these changes are ass
ociated with significant alterations in electronic structure brought a
bout by changes in atomic configuration in the lattice. (C) 1996 Ameri
