Abstract

Calculations of the dependence of the electric resistivity in liquid alkali metals and alloys on temperature, density and composition are reported as a test of a simple structural model which describes these systems as electron-ion plasmas, within the framework of linear-screening theory for the electron-ion coupling. The model also suggests an approximate correlation between the isothermal composition dependence of the height of the principal peak in the X-ray diffraction pattern of the alloy and its phase diagram, which is partly borne out by the available data for the systems NaK and NaCs.
