The authors have measured the electrical resistivity, rho , and the thermopower, S, for the liquid alloy MgZn across the entire concentration range. New data for rho and S for pure liquid Zn are also reported. Data for the liquid alloy are shown to be consistent with the Faber-Ziman theory, provided the pseudopotential for Zn is assumed to be energy dependent. A comparison of the data for the liquid alloy with data previously reported for the solid amorphous alloy indicate that this energy dependence should also be considered in the solid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
