Abstract The main aim of this work is the study of the critical point phenomena through the measurements of the electrical resis tivity Ify it as one of the most important transport property for ferromagnetic systems. The electrical resistivity of four nickel-base chromium dilute alloys having different concent rations, namely 0.00, 0.12, 0.51, and 1.13 at. 1% have been measured. The electrical resistivity has been measured by locating the specimens in a temperature homogeneous tubular furnace constructed especially for this purpose. The homogeti eity of the temperature Iii the central region of the furnace is achieved by a separate homogeneity test. The copper-cons tantan thermocouple used in measuring the temperature is calibrated by a platinum resistance thermometer. The electr ical resistivity measurements have been carried out using the direct current (d.c) four probe technique. Both the first and second derivative of the electrical resistivity OC (T) andOC(T)’) are graphically determined in the vicinity of the Curie-tempoi,,,ture ... re ” using steps of 0.1 K. The present work daLc, h(tve been fined to a power law form. The log-log plot of the second derivative of the resistivity, C< % (T), versus the reduced temperature 1CII indicates a logarithmic diver-ence, for T->Twith a break point at |
