Atomic Transport Properties of 3D Liquid Transition Metals Using Different Reference Systems

Abstract

Atomic transport properties like self diffusion coefficient (D), viscosity coefficient (η) of 3d liquid transition metals are studied. Here we have applied our own model potential to describe electron ion interaction with different reference system like Percus - Yevick Hard Sphere (PYHS), One Component Plasma (OCP) and Charge Hard Sphere (CHS) systems. We have investigated the effect of different correction function like Hartree (H), Vashishta-Singwi (VS), Hubbard-Sham (HS), Sarkar et al (S), Ichimaru-Utsumi(IU), Taylor (T) and Farid et al (F) on atomic transport properties. The proper choice of the model potential alongwith the local field correction function and reference system plays a vital role in the study of the atomic transport properties of 3d liquid transition metals.
