Abstract

The temperature coefficient of the resistivity, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$, of metallic glasses is calculated starting from the same formalism which has been used to calculate the resistivity in liquid transition metals. An explicit equation is derived for the temperature dependence which includes both effects due to the decrease in the static structure factor as well as those due to phonons. The magnitude as well as the explicit temperature dependence of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ is in good agreement with experiment.
