Abstract
Using integral equations which adopt the hypenetted-chain equation for the interionic correlation, the convolution approximation for the int erelectronic correlation, and the density-functional scheme for the io n-electron correlation, we calculate the correlation functions of liqu id alkali metals (Li,Na,K) near freezing. Through a comparison with th e experimental results, it is shown that the present theory is in fair ly good agreement with experiment.
