Resistivity of metals

Boltzmann s constant, and T is tempeiatuie in kelvin. In general, the creep resistance of metal is improved by the incorporation of ceramic reinforcements. The steady-state creep rate as a function of appHed stress for silver matrix and tungsten fiber—silver matrix composites at 600°C is an example (Fig. 18) (52). The modeling of creep behavior of MMCs is compHcated because in the temperature regime where the metal matrix may be creeping, the ceramic reinforcement is likely to be deforming elastically.

In this chapter studies of physical effects within the elastic deformation range were extended into stress regions where there are substantial contributions to physical processes from both elastic and inelastic deformation. Those studies include the piezoelectric responses of the piezoelectric crystals, quartz and lithium niobate, similar work on the piezoelectric polymer PVDF, ferroelectric solids, and ferromagnetic alloys which exhibit second- and first-order phase transformations. The resistance of metals has been investigated along with the distinctive shock phenomenon, shock-induced polarization.

The resistance thermometry is based on the temperature dependence of the electric resistance of metals, semiconductors and other resistive materials. This is the most diffused type of low-temperature thermometry sensors are usually commercial low-cost components. At very low temperatures, however, several drawbacks take place such as the low thermal conductivity in the bulk of the resistance and at the contact surface, the heating due to RF pick up and overheating (see Section 9.6.3)... 

The electric resistance of metals decreases as temperature is lowered down to about 20 K. The most used metal as thermometric material is platinum. Platinum is chemically resistant and can be produced with high purity (minimizing the temperature-independent... 

Although metals are generally good conductors of electricity, there is still some resistance to electrical flow, which is known as the resistivity of the metal. At normal temperatures, the resistivity is caused by the flow of electrons being impeded because of the motion of atoms that results from vibration about mean lattice positions. When the temperature is raised, the vibration of atoms about their mean lattice positions increases in amplitude, which further impedes the flow of electrons. Therefore, the resistivity of metals increases as the temperature increases. In a metal, electrons move throughout the structure. There are usually a small number of electrons from each atom that are considered, and because in most structures (fee and hep) each atom has 12 nearest neighbors, there is no possibility for the formation of the usual bonds that require two electrons for each. As a result, individual bonds are usually weaker than those of ionic or covalent character. Because of the overall number of bonds, the cohesion in metals is quite high. 

The resistance of metal carbonyls to addition across the CO bond may reflect the influence of the adjacent electron rich metal center, which can delocalize electron density onto the car-...
