On the resistivity of alkali–metalloid alloys

TLDR
In this paper, the Mooij resistivity of liquid alkali-metalloid alloys was explained by assuming that the resistivity in the metalloid-rich alloys is dominated by nearest-neighbour electron hopping on the metal sublattice.
Abstract
It is shown that the Mooij resistivity (that is the resistivity of the alloy composition that has a vanishing temperature coefficient) of liquid alkali-metalloid alloys can be explained by assuming that the resistivity in the metalloid-rich alloys is dominated by nearest-neighbour electron hopping on the metalloid sublattice. The coordination number on the metalloid sublattice determines the Mooij resistivity.

TL;DR: Results of a numerical analysis based on localization indicate that there is a unique and monotonic correlation between ..cap alpha… and rho for a specific disordered metallic system, in accord with the essential features of the new Mooij (..cap alpha.. vs rho) plot.
