Abstract

To shed light on structural and vibrational dynamics of liquid rubidium (Rb) at different temperatures; a treatment of pseudopotential theory has been performed. The temperature dependence of structure factor and pair correlation functions has been determined using Percus-Yevick approximation consistent to the model potential used. In the present study, a modified empty core potential is employed to explain an electron-ion interaction. It consists of the full electron-ion interaction and a delta function which represents the orthogonalisation effect due to the s-core states in such sp-bonded metals. The temperature dependence of pair potential is achieved by using the damping factor exp(-αkBTr/2kF) in the pair potential. Expressions for phonon dispersions are derived using different frequency moments. Results for longitudinal phonon frequencies and various elastic moduli are obtained.
