Abstract
We use a recently proposed formalism that relates thermodynamic proper ties and viscosity to investigate the role of energetics and size effe cts on Cu-Bi and Bi-Zn liquid alloys. Our calculations indicate that t he model works quite well for Cu-Bi, while the results for Bi-Zn are n ot of similar quality. Furthermore, we show that size effects are more significant for Bi-Zn liquid alloys. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
