THE ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY OF LITHIUM AND SODIUM-POTASSIUM ALLOY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4019216

The electrical resistivities of lithium and sodium-44 wt% potassium alloy were measured to 864 and 854 C, respectively, by means of a high precision modified Kelvin bridge circuit. Expressions for the electrical resistivity as a function of temperature were derived by a least squares fit of the data. Estimates of the thermal conductivity of lithium computed from the electrical resistivity data by the Wiedemann-Franz relation indicate a positive temperatare coefficient. (auth)
