Abstract

The results of measurements of the electrical resistivity, π of lead-doped (weight concentrations: 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1%) polycrystalline tin are presented. The experiments were performed using a comparative method with the aid of a tantalum thermomagnetic modulator applied as a null indicator. A nonlinear dependence of the residual resistivity on lead concentration was obtained. An anomalous character ofp(T) dependence was observed in the lowest-Pb concentration sample (0.001%). The deviation of the resistivity-temperature characteristics from Matthiessen's rule (DMR) was determined. The characteristics of the DMR do not show “humps” in the temperature range from 3.7 to 28 K.
