Abstract

A calculation of the high temperature electrical resistivity for lead, indium and tin is performed starting from data obtained when the gap equation for tunneling in superconductors is inverted. A main result is the average\(\overline {1 - \cos \Theta }\) whereΘ is the scattering angle. The result is discussed in detail.

Résumé

On a calculé la résistivité électrique à haute température du plomb, de l’indium et de l’étain en partant de l’équation du gap pour l’effet tunnel dans les supraconducteurs. Le résultat principal se révèle dans l’expression moyenne\(\overline {1 - \cos \Theta }\)Θ est l’angle de dispersion. Une discussion détaillée de ce résultat termine ce travail.

Zusammenfassung

Wir berechnen die elektrische Leitfähigkeit bei hohen Temperaturen in Blei, Indium und Zinn, ausgehend von Experimenten im supraleitenden Zustand (Inversion der „gap equation”). Ein Hauptresultat ist der Mittelwert\(\overline {1 - \cos \Theta }\), woΘ der Streuwinkel bedeutet. Das Ergebnis wird im einzelnen diskutiert.
