Abstract
The electrical and thermal conductivities have been measured over a wide range of temperature of specimens of pure chromium, both in the ductile and embrittled states. It has been found that the low temperature conduction properties are very similar to those of other transition metals investigated. At low temperatures the electrical resistance is mainly due to the scattering of electrons from the s-band to the d-band, while (s-s) scattering contributes about 60% of the thermal resistance.
