Based on the electronic structure of the ferromagnetic Gd2In and (Gd0.5 Y0.5)2In compounds the high-temperature magnetic part of the electrical resistivity of (Gd1-xYx)2In as a function of Y concentration was calculated and analyzed. The main interaction which causes the finite magnetic part of the conductivity was assumed in a form of stochastically distributed in space s-f interaction. The calculated resistivity of (Gd1-xYx)2In alloys qualitatively reproduces the experimental data.
