Abstract
The electrical resistivity, thermoelectric power, and Hall coefficient of liquid mercury have been calculated in a $t$-matrix formulation of Ziman's nearly-free-electron theory. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment and indicate that the anomalously large electrical resistivity of liquid mercury is due to a large $d$ contribution to the electron-ion scattering cross section. The $t$-matrix "form factor" has been compared with the pseudopotential form factors obtained earlier.
