The electrical resistivities of the quasi-crystalline AlMn alloys are 800–1000 μΩ cm and have negative temperature coefficients from 1 K to room temperature. Such high resistivities must be due to an extremely short mean free path of the electrons. In the low temperature region (less than 50 K), the resistivity π of the quasi-crystalline AlMn alloys increases rapidly with decreasing temperature T. The resistivity is proportional to −log T or T<sup>−a</sup> on the higher temperature side of this region and to −T<sup>1/2</sup> on the lower side. In contrast, π for the quasicrystalline Al-V alloys is 200–400 μΩ cm and is nearly constant from 1 k to 77 K. The behaviour of the resistivity for quasi-crystalline Al-Mn and Al-V alloys cannot be simply interpreted by ordinary mechanisms.
