(Magneto)Transport Properties of (TiZrNbNi) 1- x Cu x and (TiZrNbCu) 1- x Co x Complex Amorphous Alloys.

We present a systematic study of electrical resistivity, superconductive transitions and the Hall effect for three systems of compositionally complex amorphous alloys of early (TE) and late (TL) transition metals: (TiZrNbNi)1-xCux and (TiZrNbCu)1-xCox in a broad composition range of 0<x<0.5 as well as Ti0.30Zr0.15Nb0.15Cu0.2Ni0.2, Ti0.15Zr0.30Nb0.15Cu0.2Ni0.2 and Ti0.15Zr0.15Nb0.30Cu0.2Ni0.2. All samples showed high resistivity at room temperature, 140-240 μΩ cm, and the superconducting transition temperatures decreased with increasing late transition metal content, similar to binary amorphous and crystalline high-entropy TE-TL alloys. The Hall coefficient RH was temperature-independent and positive for all samples (except for (TiZrNbCu)0.57Co0.43), in good agreement with binary TE-TL alloys. Finally, for the temperature dependence of resistivity, as far as the authors are aware, we present a new model with two conduction channels, one of them being variable range hopping, such as the parallel conduction mode in the temperature range 20-200 K, with the exponent p=1/2. We examine this in the context of variable range hopping in granular metals.
