Abstract

Calculations of the electrical resistivity of several solid noble and transition metals have been carried out using the transition metal model potential proposed by Animalu. It has been found that, except for Cu, Ag and Au, the calculated resistivities of solid transition metals are considerably below the experimental values indicating that the Animalu's model potential fails to account for the electrical resistivities of transition metals. The failure of the Animalu's model potential has been discussed.
