These samples were studied in both annealed and heavily deformed conditions. No unusual behavior has been observed in the thermal conductivity of any of the alloys near 0.5 K as had previously been reported. In the CuAl alloy system a number of observations were made on the thermal transport properties of the phonons. The scattering of thermal phonons by conduction electrons below T z 1 K was found to be in good agreement with theory. A resonant interaction appears to exist between the phonons and dislocations at a resonant frequency of ~ 10^11 Hz. Several models of resonating dislocations are examined with respect to this data.
