Abstract
Fluid alkali metals are typical examples of materials whose electronic structures depend strongly on the thermodynamic state of the system. The most striking manifestation of this state dependence is the metal-nonmetal transition which occurs when the dense liquid evaporates to the dilute vapour or when the fluid is expanded by heating to its liquid-vapour critical point. Experimental results for fluid cesium and rubidium in the critical region show that the very existence of this transition noticeably influences the electronic, thermodynamic, structural and dynamic features of fluid metals.
