STRUCTURE OF SOME LIQUID TRANSITION-METALS USING INTEGRAL-EQUATION THEORY

We present the results of calculations of the structure factor S(q) of some liquid 3d transition metals using the self consistent hybridized mean spherical approximation (HMSA) integral equation. The local pseu dopotential used is composed of the empty core model and a part that t akes care of s-d mixing through an inverse scattering approach to mode l the interionic pair potential. The results presented are in very goo d agreement with experiment for most of the systems investigated near freezing, as well as for the noble metals Cu, Ag and Au, thus, confirm ing the reliability of the pseudopotential in the present integral equ ation scheme.
