TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE ELECTRICAL-RESISTIVITY OF A-FEZR ALLOYS

The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity of a-Fe100-xZrx a lloys (x = 8.5 and 9.5) is measured in the temperature range 5 to 300 K. Our observations indicate some correlations between the magnetic an d electrical resistivity behavior near the transition region. The resi stivity data have been analyzed in the light of both magnetic and nonm agnetic scattering models to quantify the contributions from these sca ttering processes. From the quantitative analysis it is found that the magnetic contribution is noticeable around the transition temperature and the nonmagnetic contribution is present in the complete temperatu re range of the present study.
