For cubic symmetry, ρ uu is independent of u and q · u 2 can be replaced
by q 2 / 3. In the high-temperature limit, we have

recalling that χ αα ( q , 0) =

that the magnetic resistivity saturates at temperatures which are so high
that the ions are uniformly distributed over the states in the ground-
state J -multiplet, since the condition k B T

sistivity is proportional to the de Gennes factor, as observed (Legvold
1972). If the crystal-field splitting of the energy levels is neglected, this
factor also determines the relative magnitudes of the contributions of
magnetic rare earth-impurities to the resistivity of a non-magnetic host
(Kasuya 1959). However, in analysing the measurements of Mackintosh
and Smidt (1962) of the resistivity changes produced by small amounts
of heavy rare earths in Lu, Hessel Andersen (1979) found that such
crystal-field effects are indeed important at 4 K.
