Abstract

The electrical resistivity of liquid alloys in the system In-Sb has been determined using a.d.c. four probe method. The resistivities range from 40 to 120μΩ cm and show a positive temperature dependence. A maximum in electrical resistivity is observed at compositions close to that of the inter-metallic compound InSb. Such a compound behaves as a semiconductor in the solid state and as a metal in the liquid state. Maxima are found in the reduced resistivity and in the excess thermodynamic stability at about 50 at % Sb.
