Abstract

The induced polarization contributions to the effective interionic potentials are derived for liquid metals, liquid alloys and charge stabilized colloidal dispersions. These contributions have been obtained within a perturbative scheme that includes up to three-body terms. The formalism is illustrated by calculating the static structure factor S(k) of liquid Ga near melting. It is found that the main effects due to the induced polarization in S(k) are first lowering the height of the principal diffraction peak, and second sharpening the subsidiary peak present in liquid Ga.
