✦ Synopsis

Amorphous U-Fe, U-Co and U-Ni alloys were prepared by splat quenching over the uranium concentration range of 50 -83 at%. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity, peT), was investigated in the range of 4.2 -300 K. The results below the Debye temperature (8 ~165 K) may be explained within the frame of the extended Ziman theory and the paramagnon model. The concentration dependence of p and of the superconducting transition temperature T e might be explained by the variation of the d-electron contribution.
