The thermal and electrical conductivities of silver and copper alloys with high electrical resistivities were studied in the temperature range from 0.3 to 4 °K. The lattice thermal conductivity results were interpreted in terms of Pippard’s semi-classical theory of the electron-phonon interaction and good qualitative agreement between this theory and the measurements was obtained for the temperature range from 1 to 4 °K. Below 1 °K the thermal conductivity of most samples decreased much more rapidly than one would have expected if the phonon mean free path were limited by the electron-phonon interaction only. Other phonon scattering mechanisms were therefore postulated and the effects of phonon scattering from dislocations was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The increase in thermal resistance below 1 °K of most alloys was more rapid than the increase obtained theoretically for phonon-dislocation and phonon-boundary scattering. The thermal conductivity of a copper sample with a resistance ratio of about 85 was found to be anomalous below 1 °K as well, suggesting that both the phonons and the conduction electrons could contribute to the effect in the alloys.

The lattice thermal conductivity of alloys at liquid helium temperatures yields information about the nature of the electron-phonon interaction, and about the density of dislocations. It appears that in copper, silver, and gold the electrons interact with transverse as well as with longitudinal lattice waves. The lattice conductivity also varies with alloy composition; it is not clear whether this variation should be ascribed to changes in the electron density or to the presence of dislocations, locked into stable configurations by the solute atom. If the latter view is adopted, the density of dislocations in annealed alloys is typically of the order of lOlD to 1011 lines/em".
