Homework Statement
For some applications it is important to minimize the temperature dependence of electronic components. For example, there is a special alloy called constantan that can be used for temperature independent resistance elements. Do you expect constantan to have a high or low density of lattice defects? Justify your answer.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
so i assume it has low density of lattice defects because if resistance remains constant then scattering time is also constant which means that there are no defects for the electron to scatter off of. would this statement be correct?
thank you for any advice you can give me
