This research project is devoted to the study of the physical properties of amorphous and multilayered metallic alloys. The experimental techniques to be employed are resistivity measurements, especially low-temperature magneto-resistivity, and X-ray diffraction. The samples to be studied will be thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering. The research objectives are: 1) to test current theories of electron motion in disordered conductors; 2) to investigate the electron transport properties of compositionally modulated thin metallic films; 3) to increase the general understanding of electron scattering processes in solids.
