Screening of the effect of delocalization on disordered transition metals by including the d states in the conduction band hybridization

[[abstract]]The critical resistivity required for the temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity to change sign, for weakly disordered transition metals, may be larger than the Mooij universal boundary. A theoretical modification of the conduction electron wavefunction that involves including the d-state hybridization for the transition metals has a screening effect on the electron-phonon interaction and enhances the effect of localization on the inelastic scattering.[[fileno]]2010122010057[[department]]物理
