Temperature-Dependence of the Electrical Resistivity of bcc Cr–Fe Alloys

Abstract
The electrical resistivity vs temperature was determined for a bcc Cr+20 at.% Fe alloy from 4.2° to 300°K. The absence of any discontinuity in this curve indicates that the very high temperature-coefficient of the linear term of the specific heat previously found at that composition is not associated with a phase transformation between room temperature and 4.2°K. For bcc Cr-alloys with Fe contents increasing from 0 to 16 at.% Fe the resistivity vs temperature anomaly shifts from approximately 308°K to progressively lower temperatures, and the anomalous resistivity increase with decreasing temperature becomes progressively larger. It is quite possible that these anomalies are connected with antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition in the alloys considered.
