Abstract: | The incremental resistivity Δ?(T) associated with small amounts (between 0.05 and 0.3 at% Cr) of Cr in Pd has been measured between 1.4 and 300 K and has been assumed to contain two principle contributions. The first decreases monotonically with increasing temperature, while the second consists of a rapid increase in Δ?(T) with increasing temperature between 15 and 60 K and has been attributed to conventional deviations from Matthiessen's rule (DMR). With the latter assumed to temperature independent above 70 K, Δ?(T > 70 K) has been fitted to yielding a concentration independent estimate of Ts ? 44 K. By comparing the experimental data with the extention of the above equation at temperatures below 70 K it is possible to estimate both the conventional DMR and the coefficient of the T2 term predicted at low temperatures. While the former are in reasonable agreement with DMR observed in dilute non-magnetic Pd alloys, the T2 coefficients measured in Δ?(T ? Ts) differ from their predicted values. Sources for this discrepency are discussed. |
