Electrical resistivity and thermal electromotive force of Ni75V25, Ni72V28, and Ni67V33 alloys at high temperatures

Аннотация

The temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity and thermal electromotive force (thermal e.m.f.) of the Ni–25 at % V, Ni–28 at % V, and Ni–33 at % V alloys in a temperature range of 300–1600 K have been reported; the dependences have been measured during slow heating and cooling of quenched and annealed samples. It has been shown that, near the order–disorder phase-transformation temperature, the temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity of the Ni₇₅V₂₅ and Ni₆₇V₃₃ alloys demonstrate a kink (second-order phase transition) and a jump (first-order phase transition), respectively. The behavior of the experimental dependences is discussed in terms of the band Mott s–d scattering model.
