Abstract
New method of calculation of the electrical resistivity of liquid and amorphous alloys is presented. The method is based on the Morgan–Howson–S̆aub (MHS̆) model but the pseudopotentials are replaced by the scattering matrix operators. The Fermi energy is properly determined by the accurate values of the phase shifts. The model depends on a very small number of universal parameters and gives stable results. The calculated values of the resistivity agree well with available experimental data for a substantial number of binary alloys. Moreover, the results for some ternary alloys were also obtained.
