Although much theoretical effort has been expended over a number of years on understanding the resistivity of metals due to microscopic factors such as phonons, impurities, vacancies, or any type of extended imperfection, there has been a lack of theoretical study of the resistivity changes induced by such defects as a precipitate or an intermetallic phase. However, there is a wealth of theoretical techniques that have been widely applied to the study of physical properties of systems similar to the present one, i.e. composite materials.
