The electrical resistivities of polycrystalline Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu were measured between 1.3 deg K and room temperature. The slope of the resistivity curve for gadolinium changes near the curie point. The curve for terbium is very much like that for gadolinium, but there is some evidence that two ordering temperatures exist for this metal. Dysprostum, holmium, and thulium all show peaks in resistivity near their Neel points, while erbium shows only a change in slope at its Neel point. The change from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism in dyprosium is seen as a sharp rise in the resistivity. (auth)
