Abstract

AbstractAn accurate pseudopotential has been used to calculate the thermopower of some simple liquid metals using a formula that incorporates the nonlocality of the potential. Firstly, we investigate the role of the structure factor in thermopower calculations and find it very significant and secondly we infer that refinements in the pseudopotential theory and thus the expression for thermopower incorporated into our calculations does not have a remarkable effect on computed thermopower values when compared with experiment.
