Calculation of the electrical resistivity of amorphous Sn-noble metal alloys

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The absolute value and temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of amorphous AuSn and CuSn alloys have been calculated on the basis of the generalized Faber-Ziman theory. The partial structure factors of the amorphous AuSn alloys were calculated for a modified microcrystallite model using the electron diffraction data for the average structure factor. The experimentally observed difference of the temperature dependence of the resistivity in the AuSn and the CuSn series is found to be largely due to the different atomic pseudopotentials for the noble metal component in these alloys.
