Abstract

Results of electrical resistivity calculation in melts of systems of lead and gallium with alkali metals are presented. It is shown that the J. Ziman theory of electrical conductivity of metallic melts successfully describes the experimental effects of the electrical resistivity growth during the metal-to-nonmetal phase transition in lead-alkali-metal systems. The results from the same theory predict similar qualitative effects of change in the electrical resistivity for gallium-alkali-metal melts.
