Hole Carriers and Electrical Resistivity in Ferromagnetic Ni-base Alloys

Abstract

ly reflects the magnetic property and the electronic structure. Assuming that each scattering mechanism in the electrical conduction is independent of one another, their the scattering processes(1). In the transition metals and alloys, the main carrier is not only an electron but also a hole carrier, as is well known by the positive value of the ordinary Hall coefficient for iron(2). The hole carrier is connected with the d-band and the magnetic moment (i.e. the
