Abstract
Electrical-resistivity measurements have been performed on five single crystals of pure tin in the temperature interval 8-300 °K. From these measurements, the temperature-dependent anisotropy () of the electrical resistivity has been determined. A striking maximum in the curve is noted at °K. The features of this curve at high, intermediate, and low temperatures are interpreted in terms of a simplified model for an anisotropic metal. The model predicts that the curve for all electrically anisotropic metals with anisotropy as will exhibit a maximum at intermediate or low temperatures.
