Electrical resistivity of Fe-Zr glasses from 4.2 to 1100 K

The results of electrical resistivity ρ(T) measurements on Fe-rich Fe-Zr glasses in a wide temperature range are presented. The ρ(T) data show minima at temperatures close to the Curie temperature (Tc). A change of slope around 600 K, resembling the behaviour of the Fe-Zr-Cu-B nanocrystalline alloy, is caused by the crystallisation process. An evaluation of various contributions to electrical resistivity reveals that the contribution due to the magnetic scattering is masked by electron-phonon, quantum interference and pseudo-Kondo scattering processes
