The electrical resistivity of 241americium metal

  • 1. Commission of the European Communities, Karlsruhe (F.R. Germany). European Inst. for Transuranium Elements

Description

A potentiometric method was employed to measure the electrical resistivity of an americium layer of 1.89 μm thickness between 300 and 3.6 K. The analysis of the low temperature data showed that the resistivity varies with temperature as Tsup(2.8) up to 20 K. At higher temperatures deviations from the linear law were found similar to those in uranium and neptunium. Self irradiation studies at 4.5 and 78 K were performed. The time constant for the rate of self damage was found to be 2.04.10-2 h-1. (Auth.)
