Modeling of High-Temperature Electron-Ion Interaction in Metals

Abstract

Due to the band structure blurring, all low-temperature characteristics (p = hk) pass to the parameter R associated with LambdaF/2Pi, binding energy, the volume of interatomic voids, the volume increment upon melting, and the packing factor. Application of the parameter R to the analysis of wave characteristics revealed their relationship with the packing factor of the reciprocal lattice (for alkali metals, it is 0.74, for Pb, Al ..., it is 0.68). A correlation is established between the fluctuation cell of heat transfer ± Lambda K (where Lambda = h/mc and K is the number of nearest neighbors) and the reciprocal lattice of the atomic-ion space determined by the atom and ion volumes and by the parameter R.
