Abstract
Ultra-high-precision measurements of the resistivity of potassium to 70 mK reveal a closely GaAs- variation from 1 K down to about 0.35 K, below which the variation is slower than . The behavior is consistent with simple electron-electron scattering with a mean coefficient of 2.4±0.2 fΩ m/. The slower variation below 0.35 K represents new anomalous behavior which is not yet understood.
