Abstract
Measurements are reported of the thermal and electrical conductivities of the transition elements Rh, Ir, Pt in a state of high purity; the rapid rate of decrease of the "ideal" thermal and electrical resistivities with temperature, particularly in Rh and Ir, suggests that s–d transitions are not a dominant resistive mechanism at low temperatures in these metals, in contrast to palladium, iron, and nickel, which were studied previously. The electrical resistivity of platinum is in general agreement with the earlier results of de Haas and de Boer (1934); the quadratic dependence on temperature observed below about 10° K. suggests that electron–electron collisions may well be an important factor in this metal.Keywords
