Abstract

The temperature-dependent resistivity of Pt/C-Ga composite nanowires was studied. The interference of electron-phonon scattering and elastic electron scattering from boundaries and defects were used for the description. The resistivity was found to be robust to thermal cycling and insensitive to large magnetic fields. The results show that the strongly disordered nature of these wires, combined with their high Debye temperature are responsible for the pronounced interference effects.
