TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF PURE METALS AT HIGH TEMPERATURES: I. COPPER

Abstract

This paper is the first of a series reporting our investigations into the high-temperature properties of the monovalent metals. It contains a description of the methods used in these investigations, and the results of measurements of the transport properties of pure copper, over the temperature range 300–1 250 °K. These results are compared with some previously published work, and also with standard theoretical expressions applicable to the monovalent metals.
