Influence of Spin Fluctuations on the Low‐Temperature Electrical‐Transport Properties of Pd and Pd–Ni Alloys

Abstract

The electrical and thermal resistivities arising from s‐electron scattering from itinerant d‐band spin density fluctuations in nearly ferromagnetic transition metal systems like Pd and dilute Pd–Ni are investigated theoretically on a simple model for the spectral density function for the spin fluctuations.
