Electrical conductivity of magnesium-lead alloys

Abstract

The study of the electrical conductivity of metal alloys makes it possible, along with other physical research methods, to judge about their chemical nature. Matthiessen, who carried out classical research in this area, was the first to try to find the relationship between the composition and electrical conductivity of alloys. But at that time (60s and 70s of the last century) ideas about the nature of alloys and information about their structure were so imperfect that it is not always possible to agree with the author’s conclusions on this issue.
