Abstract
The electrical resistance of a simple metal can be computed over a wide range of temperature by considering the thermal vibrations and the scattering from individual ions. Observations by MacDonald and Mendelssohn make possible a comparison with experiment from room temperature down to very low values. Moderate agreement for lithium and sodium can be obtained by a suitable choice of parameters, but the values necessary are not in close agreement with those suggested by other phenomena.Keywords
