Abstract
Electrical resistivities of the liquid MgxSn1-x and Mg-2(PbySn1-y) all oys with 0 less than or equal to x, y < 1 have been measured as functi ons of composition. A very high and sharp resistivity maximum occurs a t tile stoichiometric composition Mg2Sn for both systems. The metal-no n-metal transition appears around this composition. If these liquid al loys are roughly considered to be a system consisting of a metallic an d non-metallic components, tie plots of tile resistivity versus metall ic component fraction are similar for liquid MgxSn1-x and Mg-2(PbySn1- y).
