The Electrical Resistance of Liquid Gallium in the Neighbourhood of its Melting Point

C Dodd

Abstract

In order to determine whether any discontinuous change in electrical properties takes place when a liquid is supercooled, measurements have been made on the resistance of liquid gallium. No such discontinuity has been found, the resistance varying linearly with temperature over the range investigated. The results yield values for the resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistance of liquid gallium.
