Ziman model. This model is based on a consideration of Bragg reflection for electron waves (Fig. 3.8). When the individual reflections add in phase, the Bragg relationship... 

Concentration as well as temperature dependences of p in both the amorphous [5.86-89] and the liquid state [5.90-92] are understood in the framework of the diffraction or extended Faber-Ziman model [5.90, 92, 93]. Experimentally determined total as well as model partial-structure functions have been successfully applied. Disregarding inelastic-scattering effects and extensions of...

It was stressed by Mueller et al. (1980) that the extended Ziman theory is not the only model that can explain the negative value of a observed in many amorphous alloys. In fact, Mueller et al. showed that the negative temperature dependence in amorphous Lao.66 Alo.34 better explained in terms of the Kondo mechanism than by the extended Ziman model. We will return to this point later on, after having discussed the resistivity anomalies associated with several types of Kondo mechanisms.
