The resistivity of refractory compounds at high temperatures

Summary The authors measured the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of carbides of titanium, zirconium, hafnium, niobium, molybdenum and tungsten and borides of titanium and zirconium. The thermal coefficients of the electrical resistance were calculated for the measured carbides and borides. Attempts were made to correlate the values of the electrical resistances with the electron structure of the compounds.
