Abstract

AbstractA simple theoretical expression for the static structure factor a(Q) of non‐simple liquid metals is presented. The expression results from a superposition of two Ashcroft‐Lekner type expressions of the interference functions of hard sphere models, by assuming that the liquidmetal contains two types of clusters, each type being characterized by a set of four parameters. Calculations of a(Q) for liquid Hg, Ga, Sn, and Bi are made. The theoretical results are found in good agreement with experimental data and better than those predicted from the Ashcroft‐Lekner expression, in the region of interest for the well‐known Ziman theory.
