By using compiled, updated experimental data, we have demonstrated that the correlation between the temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity ± and the resistivity for disordered metals at room temperature is not universal. The origin of the nonuniversality of the Mooij correlation stems mostly from a competition between the quantum mechanical effects of incipient localization and the classical Boltzmann electron transport. Results of a numerical analysis based on localization indicate that there is a unique and monotonic correlation between and for a specific disordered metallic system, in accord with the essential features of our new Mooij (vs) plot. © 1986 The American Physical Society.
