Abstract

The pair potential of liquid metals shows damped oscillations at long range. Using a form for this pair potential, proposed by Cummings, we calculate the structure factor in the random phase approximation. We give a description of the behaviour to pair potential oscillations of the structure factor and some numerical results, for 12 liquid metals. The applicability of this model has been tested by calculating the long-wavelength limit.
