Abstract
We present theoretical calculations for the static structure and order ing properties of the Na-K liquid alloy. Our theoretical approach is b ased on the neutral pseudoatom method for deriving the interatomic pai r potentials, and on the modified-hypernetted-chain theory of liquids for obtaining the liquid structure, leading to a whole combination tha t is free of adjustable parameters. The results obtained predict a wea k phase-separating tendency, in good agreement with the available expe rimental data.
