Thermal switching in metals

Z. Ogorelec ; Institute of Physics of the University, Zagreb

Sažetak

A simple experiment with mercury showed that solid-liquid transition in metals may be utilized for a thermal formation of a current-voltage characteristic of N-type as well as for the switching from a state of lower to a state of higher resistance. As a measure for the switching effectiveness a factor q appears, defined as a ratio of conductivities of the metal in liquid and solid state. The lower its magnitude the better are the switching characteristics. In pure metals q is rather large but smaller values may be expected in alloys. Empirical rules governing design of such alloys are discussed.
