Now in paperback, this comprehensive book is the first text devoted to the problem of
understanding the electrical properties of metals and alloys. Dr Rossiter, well-known for his …

Abstract The Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation is a powerful and
versatile tool for calculating the single-particle properties of disordered alloys. Here this …

A detailed report is given of the fundamental aspects of the coherent potential theory which
serves as the best single-site approximation to the ensemble-averaged one-particle Green's …

The relationship of charge transfer in alloys to electronegativity, to relative pure-constituent
Fermi energies, and to atomic volume is discussed. The importance of using comparable …

The electronic structures of Ag x Pd 1− x alloys were calculated by using a charge self-
consistent version of the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation. The …

The average-t-matrix approximation (ATA) is used to evaluate complex energy bands in the
disordered alloy α-CuZn over a range of Zn concentrations between 0 and 30 at.%. The …

Transmittance and reflectance measurements have been performed between 0.5 and 6 eV
on thin films of noble-metal-noble-metal alloys over the whole concentration range. Optical …

Ordering and segregation processes in binary alloys and compounds are usually studied by
using phenomenological pair interactions. Such a model can be justified when the …

Using a two (sd) band model and the CPA theory of conductivity, we calculate the effect of
the phonon induced modification of the density of states on the T-dependence of the …

A theory of the residual electrical resistance of ferromagnetic disordered alloys is presented
in the framework of the coherent-potential approximation. It generalizes a previous …
