What are the maximum atomic and weight percentages of Cu that can be added to Au without exceeding a resistivity that is thrice that of pure gold? (Alloys are normally prepared by mixing the elements in weight. Resistivity of Au at 0°C is 20.5 nΩ m Nordheim coefficient for Cu in Au at 20°C is C = 450 nΩ m. Resistivity of Au at 20°C, using α0 = 1/242 K-1 )
