Abstract
Extending the free-electron theory of electronic transport in simple amorphous metals, the Eliashberg function α2F(ω) and the electron-phonon constant λ are calculated for such materials. A formula relating λ to the temperature coefficient of the resistivity at higher temperatures (T >≈ θD/2) is derived. The validity of this formula is tested for amorphous Ga.
