Abstract
It is shown for the Co-B series that changes in the temperature coefficient of resistivity, α, produced by a few percent of crystals within an amorphous matrix, are of the same order as changes of α with composition which have been reported in the literature, and interpreted in terms of physics of the amorphous state. Such low levels of crystalline fraction may escape notice by the standard methods of x-ray analysis or electron microscopy.
