Abstract
A discussion of some of the difficulties with previous analyses of the resistivity of A-15 compounds is given. Precise high-temperature data on α-particle- and electron-damaged Nb3Ge and Nb3Sn samples with different defect concentrations are presented here and analyzed in a simple way with use of a phenomenological model based on the idea that the ideal resistivity must approach some limiting value in the regime where the mean free path becomes comparable to the interatomic spacing.
