Using a dc four-probe method, the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of liquid Sn–Bi alloys has been investigated. The results show that there are clear turning points both on heating and cooling for several experimental cycles. Since the electrical resistivity is one of the physical properties sensitive to structure, the unusual change of the resistivity indicates that liquid–liquid transitions (LLT) probably take place in Sn–Bi melts. Moreover, the transitions are reversible. Compared with the experimental results for pure Sn and Bi, it is assumed that Sn plays an important role in the reversible liquid–liquid transitions.
