Abstract
This paper presents and discusses the available data and information on the electrical resistivity of alkali elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium) and contains recommended reference values (or provisional or typical values). The compiled data include all the experimental data available from the literature and cover the temperature dependence, pressure dependence, and magnetic flux density dependence. The temperature range covered by the compiled data is from cryogenic temperatures to above the critical temperature of the elements. The recommended values are generated from critical evaluation, analysis, and synthesis of the available data and information and are given for both the total electrical resistivity and the intrinsic electrical resistivity. For most of the elements, the recommended values cover the temperature range from 1 K to 2000 K.

Thermal conductivity of metals and alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the theory of thermal conductivity of metals and alloys is reviewed, and deviations from the Sommerfeld value of the Lorentz ratio are discussed at high temperature due to incomplete degeneracy of the electron gas (Fermi smearing), at low temperatures due to the inelastic nature of electron-phonon interactions and to the electron-electron interactions.

High pressure melting of lithium.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quasi-four-point resistivity measurement in a diamond anvil cell and measured the resistance of lithium as it goes through melting was used to pinpoint the melting transition from ambient pressure to 64 GPa, and observed an abrupt increase in the slope of the melting curve around 10 GPa.
