Concentration Fluctuations in Liquid Alloys of Alkali Metals from Semiempirical Theories of Mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The semiempirical theories of mixtures developed by van Laar, Margules, Scatchard-Hamer, Wilson and Renon and Prausnitz are used to study the concentration fluctuations of binary liquid alloys formed among the alkali metals. Examination of the fitting capabilities of these theories leads to the conclusion that those of van Laar, Scatchard-Hamer and Renon and Prausnitz are appropriate both when the atomic sizes of the component metals are similar and when there is considerable atomic size mismatch. The Margules and Wilson theories, on the contrary, appear to be restricted only to cases in which the size difference between the two types of atoms is small.

Chain structure and electronic states of liquid Rb-Se mixtures by ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations
The effects of excess electronic charges transferred from alkali metals to Se atoms on the chain structure in liquid RbxSe1−x for x 0.5 are investigated by means of ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations. It is found that the interaction between Se chains is enhanced by the transferred electrons, and that the average length of Se chains becomes shorter with increasing alkali-metal concentrati...
متن کاملA study of the electronic properties of liquid alkali metals . A self – consistent approach
We study the electronic properties (density of states, conductivity and thermopower) of some nearly–free–electron systems: the liquid alkali metals and two liquid alloys, Li–Na and Na–K. The study has been performed within the self– consistent second order Renormalized Propagator Perturbation Expansion (RPE) for the self–energy. The input ionic pseudopotentials and static correlation functions ...
متن کاملMicroscopic surface structure of liquid alkali metals
We report an x-ray scattering study of the microscopic structure of the surface of a liquid alkali metal. The bulk liquid structure factor of the eutectic K67Na33 alloy is characteristic of an ideal mixture, and so shares the properties of an elemental liquid alkali metal. Analysis of off-specular diffuse scattering and specular x-ray reflectivity shows that the surface roughness of the K-Na al...

In this study, a temperature-dependent of the dispersion coefficients is calculated from equation state.The Lennard-Jones LJ (12-6-3) effective pair potential function and simple thermodynamic argumentwith the input PVT data of liquid metals are used to calculate the dispersion coefficients. The dispersioncoefficients ( , , ) 3 6 12 C C C are found to be a linear function of 1/T1+α , where T is...
متن کاملRelaxation time scales in collective dynamics of liquid alkali metals.
In this paper the investigation of the dynamical processes of liquid alkali metals is executed by analyzing the time scales of relaxation processes in liquids. The obtained theoretical dynamic structure factor S(k,omega) for the case of liquid lithium is found to be in excellent agreement with the recently received inelastic x-ray scattering data. The comparison and interrelation with other the...
