Abstract
Oscillatory density profiles are a well-known feature occurring at the free surfaces of liquid metals. Recently, the thermophysical properties of expanded liquid mercury have been successfully investigated with an atypic isotropic effective interaction Bomont et al., J. Chem. Phys. 124, 054504 2006 . We use this model to investigate the liquid-vapor interface properties taking explicitly into account the density dependence of the potential related to the metal-nonmetal transition along the interface. Ionic and electronic density distributions along the normal of the interface display strong stratification and the calculated reflectivities compare well with experimental data.
