It has often been pointed out that a much more manageable structure is obtained from quantum theory if the time parameter t is chosen imaginary instead of real. Under a replacement of t by i·t the Schrödinger equation turns into a generalized heat equation, time ordered correlation functions transform into the moments of a probability measure, etc. More recently this observation has become extremely important for the construction of quantum dynamical models, where criteria were developed by E. Nelson, by K. Osterwalder and R. Schrader and others [8] which would permit the reverse transition to real time after one has constructed an imaginary time (“Euclidean”) model.

An extensive analysis of the entropy is reported for 22 nearly free electron metals. The pair correlation entropy is computed from measured pair correlation functions, and the magnitude and temperature dependence of this entropy contribution shows approximately universal behaviour for most liquid metals. The higher order correlation entropy is zero for the simple metals, but is non-zero for several complex liquid metals, including Hg, Ga and Sn. The results are interpreted in terms of the motion of ions in a liquid, in which each ion is approximately trapped in the potential well of its neighbours, and where the presence of higher-order correlation entropy implies the existence of an n -ion interaction, for n ≥ 3.

Recently, for calculating the effective pair interactions in liquid transition metals, we have developed an approach which includes the Wills-Harrison and Bretonnet-Silbert models as limit cases. Here, we apply this approach to noble liquid metals. The dependencies of pair potentials and corresponding MD-simulated pair correlation functions in pure liquid Cu, Ag and Au on the portion of the non-diagonal (with respect to the magnet quantum number) d-d-electron couplings in the metal under consideration are studied. The model provides a good agreement with experimental and ab initio data for pair correlation functions, structure factors and velocity autocorrelation functions.
