Deviations from Mattheissen's rule in two Pd-base alloys

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Deviations from Mattheissen's rule (DMR) were measured for two Pd-base alloys containing 0.1 and 0.5 at.% Ti. The DMR was determined from 4.2 to 320 K and the behavior is similar to results for some non-transition-metal alloys, showing maximum positive deviations near the temperatures where impurity and intrinsic scattering become equal, followed by negative deviations at higher temperatures. Data for a pure Pd sample (residual resistivity ratio of 1340) were also obtained and all of the results are compared to previously published values.
