Abstract
We present a study of the metal-nonmetal and liquid-vapor transitions of alkali-atom fluids which integrates structural and electronic prope rties. The techniques are extensions of those used to study liquid met als and the phase transitions of pairwise interacting fluids. Structur al correlations beyond mean-field are found to be of special importanc e due to the large, electronically induced, cohesion of clusters.
