Abstract
We report new measurements of the normal-state electrical resistances of several high- (∼ 20 K) structure superconductors. It is found that the resistances are linear functions of from to 40 K. Analysis of available lattice heat-capacity data on the same materials shows that it also varies as over the same temperature interval. These observations suggest that the resistivity is due to electron-phonon scattering. This interpretation is supported by the results of a model calculation for the temperature dependence of the resistivity and the lattice-heat capacity of Sn.
