Electrical properties (resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistivity) of the Y(Ga,Al)2, Y(Ga,Si)2 and Y(Ga,Ge)2 solid solutions are studied using the model coatings deposited on mica substrate. Analysis of temperature dependences of the resistivity reveals that YGa2 compound as well as the solid solutions on its base possess a metallic conductivity. Substitution of a certain part of the gallium atoms in YGa2 compound belonging to AlB2-type structure with germanium, silicon or aluminium atoms leads to decrease of resistivity in the Ga → Ge → Si → Al series that may be caused by both the nature of atoms themselves and technological parameters of coatings’ preparation (primarily, by their homogeneity).
Key words: intermetallics, electrical properties, crystal structure, x-ray diffraction.
