Abstract
Measurements have been made of the residual resistivity and thermoelectric power in dilute alloys of CuNi, CuPd, CuPt and CuRh. A measurement has also been made of the UPS spectrum in CuRh. These have been used to obtain the parameters associated with the resonant d states in these alloys using the phase-shift model of Gupta and Benedek (1979). de Haas-van Alphen measurements made by other workers have been re-analysed, using the new residual resistivities, within the phase-shift model of Coleridge, Holzwarth and Lee (1974). Comparison is made between the parameters obtained from these two approaches. Various theoretical calculations of the de Haas-van Alphen Dingle temperature and frequency change on alloying are discussed in relation to the measured values.
