We have measured the resistivity (1–300 K) of Cu and CuMn and CuCr alloys (10–200 ppm). The data on pure Cu were compared with the Bloch-Gruneisen formula. The impurity contribution (ϱalloy − ϱCu) contains a Kondo term and a deviation from Matthiessen's rule (DMR). The Kondo contribution was analyzed in terms of a modified Hamann-Fischer expression, yielding a good fit to our data with parameters in agreement with expectation. The DMR results in CuCr and CuMn are similar to the DMR reported in nonmagnetic Cu alloys. A phenomenological expression was derived which accounts for the observed concentration and temperature dependences.
