Abstract
Extending the free-electron theory of electronic transport in simple amorphous metals, the Eliashberg function alpha 2F( omega ) and the electron-phonon coupling constant lambda are calculated for such materials. A formula relating lambda to the temperature coefficient of the resistivity at higher temperatures (T>or approximately= theta D/2) is derived. The validity of this formula is tested for amorphous Ga.
