Sandenaw, T A; Andrew, J F

Simultaneous measurements of electrical resistivity, elongation and temperature have been made on a Pu metal specimen between {approximately}80K and 733K. This temperature range covers part of the {alpha}-phase range and up through a major portion of the {delta}-phase range. Results are discussed. 7 refs., 3 figs.
