Intuition tells that glassy metals will have higher electrical resistivity than
their crystalline counterparts since glass may be considered to be a crystal
with massive defects.

Is it true?
e.g. if you have a piece of crystalline copper and a piece of glassy copper
the former will be more conductive than the latter, right?

Is there source where quantitative number can be found?
