Abstract
AbstractA method is proposed to obtain values for the impurity resistivity, given an alloy potential. Correct single‐site values which account for the bandstructure of the host and which are calculated by solving the Boltzmann transport equation form the starting‐point. Effects due to charge transfer and lattice distortion can be estimated reliably using an approximate finite‐cluster model method. The selfconsistent potentials for impurities in copper and silver represent correctly the differences between the sp impurities and the 3d and 4d impurities in a host and also the difference between the two hosts for a given impurity. The agreement of the absolute values with experiment is not yet satisfactory.
