The residual resistivity (RRR) of metal is a parameter that can reflect the purity of metal. By measuring the RRR of metal, the impurity content in the metal can be determined, and then the purity of the metal can be obtained. The definition of the residual resistivity of metal is the ratio of the two resistivities of the metal at room temperature and at absolute zero. The larger the RRR value, the higher the purity of the metal.
