Abstract
We report an ab initio simulation and theoretical study of collective dynamics in liquid Sb at 973 K. An application of the GCM (generalized collective modes) theoretical approach to analysis of simulation-derived time correlation functions resulted in two types of propagating eigenmodes. We found that the almost flat dispersion of the high-frequency branch of propagating modes can be explained by out-of-phase oscillations of nearest neighbors which form quasi-bound atomic pairs for at least 30 ps. We discuss the features of collective dynamics in non-simple metallic melts containing quasi-bound pairs.
