Abstract
The knowledge of the structure and transfer properties of liquid metals and alloys helps physists, chemists and technologists in their applications for various useful purposes. The structure factor S(k) of liquid Cu was investigated in the temperature range from 1370 K to 1873 K, using square-well (SW) potential perturbation over hard sphere reference system. Computed S(k) and SW potential were applied to determine the self diffusion of liquid Cu within the available experimental temperature range by using well known Einstein's equation (kBT/ξ). Then the computed results were compared with available experimental results obtained by Quasielastic Neutron Scattering (QNS). Also, the viscosity coefficient, co-ordination number and the coefficient of thermal expansion were computed from the equation of states for square-well fluids within the temperature range for investigation of structure factor.
