Abstract
In en attempt to increase the knowledge of what chemical impurity atoms give rise to a resistance minimum in copper, silver and gold as solvents, we have examined dilute polycrystalline solid solutions of Ni, Cu, and Sn in Au, Sn in Ag, and Mg in Cu, which were of some interest. It appears that none of these particular solutes causes a resistance minimum in the solvents specified. This finding is discussed in relation to previous work.
