The purported advantages of the Evanohm alloy were not observed in this preliminary study. Under the deposition conditions, the Evanohm alloy produced a greater variation in resistance of the as-deposited thin films than the Tophet alloy currently in use for producing resistors. A broader screening experiment for optimum operating conditions for the Evanohm wire is recommended
