Abstract
We report on measurements of the electrical resistivity and the superconducting transition temperature of amorphous La−Ag alloys (∼60–74 at % La) obtained by liquid quenching. The temperature coefficient of the resistivity is always slightly negativ, its value cannot be described well by existing theories.T c depends linearly on the La content and seems to be not very sensitive to the second alloy constituent.
