Electrical resistance at the antiferro-paramagnetic transition in dysprosium

High precision data for the electrical resistance of dysprosium in the region of the Neel point have been obtained using the direct current comparator method. Results are given for both b- and c-axis samples cut from the same high quality monocrystal. In the immediate vicinity of the Neel point (BT-TN mod or=TN, whereas a power law, of weak amplitude but with psi - approximately=1.25, is valid below TN. The results suggest that dR/dT varies as the magnetic specific heat below TN for both the b- and c-axis resistance.
