The theory of how metals conduct electronically had for a long time
been confined to metals that are crystalline with the constituent
atoms in regular arrays. The discovery of how to make solid
amorphous alloys led to an explosion of measurements of the
electronic properties of these new materials, and the emergence of
a range of interesting low temperature phenomena. This 1995 book
describes in physical terms the theory of the electrical
conductivity, Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance and thermopower
of disordered metals and alloys. The author begins by showing how
conventional Boltzmann theory can be extended and modified when the
mean free path of the conduction electrons becomes comparable with
their wavelength and interionic separation. The consequence of this
is explored and the theory tested by application to experimental
data on metallic glasses. Designed as a self-contained review, the
book will appeal to non-specialist physicists, metallurgists and
chemists with an interest in disordered metals.
