Abstract
DURING a recent series of electrical measurements on uranium monocarbide it was observed that the temperature coefficient of resistivity exhibited a sharp decrease at about 525° C. to approximately 50 per cent of its low-temperature value. The material in question was prepared by a powder metallurgical method1, was of ∼ 91 per cent theoretical density and of nominally 4.8 wt. per cent of carbon.
