Abstract

The pressure effect on the resistivity and the thermopower of liquid alkali metals (Cs, Rb, K, Cs-Na alloys and Cs-K alloys) has been studied up to around 30 kbar. It has been found that the pressure gives a considerable effect on the transport properties of liquid Cs, Rb and their alloys. The thermopower of liquid Cs changes remarkably with pressure. It exhibits the maximum at pressure of 16 kbar and then decreases with increasing pressure. The importance of d -band in heavy alkali metals is discussed.
