Possible deviation of magnetoresistivity of V$_{3}$Si from Kohler Rule

ORAL

Abstract

The normal-state transport magnetoresistivity \textit{$\rho $(H) }in high-quality samples of A15 compound V$_{3}$Si is studied. Contrary to the results of a previous study by Zotos \textit{et al.} (\textit{Sol. State Comm. }\textbf{50 }(5), 1984, p. 453) which found that \textit{$\rho \quad \sim $} $H^{2}$ over a wide range of temperatures, the result of the current study is closer to \textit{$\rho \quad \sim $} $H^{1.5}$ at higher temperatures. However, there seems to be also a deviation from this form at lower temperatures, thus showing a slight temperature dependence for \textit{$\rho $(H)} -- in other words, a temperature-dependent deviation from the traditional Kohler's Rule, \textit{$\Delta \rho $/$\rho $}$_{0 }$\textit{= f(H/$\rho $}$_{0}). $Possible reasons for this are discussed.
