Abstract

Films of Ni1−xZrx metallic glasses have been prepared by sputter deposition over the composition range 0.1<x<0.86. In this paper we present data on the composition and temperature dependencies of the resistivity and the Hall coefficient from 77 to 300 K. Where applicable, both the resistivity and the Hall coefficient closely follow the values reported for melt-spun glasses of the same composition. The Hall coefficient changes sign from positive to negative with decreasing x; for x<0.4 it also becomes increasingly temperature dependent (dRH/dT>0). Both the change in sign and the temperature dependence can be understood within the framework of an important extraordinary contribution to the Hall coefficient for these paramagnetic alloys.
