Electrical resistivity of dilute binary chromium alloys with nickel and manganese

Electrical resistivity, ϱ, of binary chromium alloys containing 0.4, 0.8, 1.7, 2.6, 4.4 at% nickel and 2.1, 4.0 at% manganese has been measured as a function of temperature, T, between 4 and 320 °K. Shallow anomalies in the ϱ vs. T curves appear at the Néel temperature in the chromium–nickel samples. No anomalies are observed in the electrical resistivity of chromium–manganese alloys since manganese increases the Néel temperature of chromium. The results of this study are compared with all the known previous investigations.
