Local distorsions, dielectrical regions and the nature of high resistivity state in metastable alloys on titanium and zirconium bases

The analysis of specific features of lattice structural state in metastable titanium and zirconium alloys as well as electronic structure of ω-phase allows one to suggest a hypothesis about dimensional quantization of electron spectrum in fine-dispersed particles of ω-phase. The main reasons of high-resistivity state formation may be explained through analysis of 'external' electron scattering by ω-phase particles. Resistive and structural anomalies in dilute alloy may be cleared up assuming formation of small quasicrystalline clusters. 17 refs., 1 fig
