Abstract
Simultaneous electrical resistance and x-ray diffraction measurements have been made on samples of Cu. The resistance data show a local maximum near 36 K; the x-ray data reveal a low-temperature structural transition which is correlated with the electrical anomaly. In addition to the new diffraction pattern, remnants of the orthorhombically distorted Ni structure of the parent phase are seen in varying amounts in all samples at low temperatures. These observations are in agreement with recent theoretical predictions.
