Anomalous electron scattering in dilute magnetic alloys

Abstract

The Kondo theory of the resistance minimum has been extended to show the following: (1) The resistance anomaly is not affected by nonmagnetic scattering. (2) The magnetoresistance shows a logarithmic field dependence at strong fields and low temperatures. (3) The anomalous scattering affects the superconducting properties of the alloy in nearly the same way as the normal scattering. So the theory based on normal scattering is still qualitatively correct. © 1965 The American Physical Society.
