Temperature dependent surface properties like surface tension (γ) and surface entropy (SV) of liquid alkali metals are studied in the present paper. Our newly constructed parameter free model potential is used to describe the electron-ion interaction. To see the influence of local field correction function on surface properties of liquid alkali metal, we have used Sarkar et al local field correction function. The present results are found in good agreement with available experimental data as well as other theoretical data. Lastly we conclude that our model potential is capable to explain surface properties of liquid alkali metals.

The thermodynamic properties like heat of mixing (ΔE), entropy of mixing (ΔS) and volume of mixing (ΔΩ) of Fe-Co liquid binary alloys are computed using our newly constructed parameter free model potential. We have also attempted to investigate the effect of various forms of exchange and correlation functions, namely, Hartree (H) and Taylor (T) on the thermodynamic properties of Fe-Co liquid binary alloys. It is found that the proper choice of the model potential along with the local field correction function play an important role in investigating the thermodynamic properties of Fe-Co liquid binary alloys.

The residual resistivity for 156 dilute alloys of 19 hosts of different groups of the periodic table has been studied on the basis of the single parametric model potential formalism. Ashcroft's empty core model (EMC) potential is explored for the first time with five different local field correction functions, viz, Hartree (H), Taylor (T), Ichimaru–Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F), and Sarkar et al. (S) to investigate the effect of the exchange and correlation on the aforesaid properties. The comparison of the presently computed outcomes with the available theoretical and experimental data is highly encouraging. The investigation of residual resistivity is found to be quite sensitive to the selection of local field correction function, showing a significant variation with the change in the function.

AbstractAshcroft’s empty core (EMC) model potential is used to study the superconducting state parameters (SSPs) viz. electron-phonon coupling strength λ, Coulomb pseudopotential μ*, transition temperature T C, isotope effect exponent αand effective interaction strength N O V of some binary metallic glasses based on the superconducting (S), conditional superconducting (S’) and non-superconducting (NS) elements of the periodic table. Five local field correction functions proposed by Hartree (H), Taylor (T), Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F) and Sarkar et al. (S) are used for the first time with EMC potential in the present investigation to study the screening influence on the aforesaid properties. The T C obtained from the H-local field correction function are in excellent agreement with available theoretical or experimental data. In the present computation, the use of the pseudo-alloy-atom model (PAA) was proposed and found successful. Present work results are in qualitative agreement with such earlier reported experimental values which confirm the superconducting phase in all metallic glasses. A strong dependency of the SSPs of the metallic glasses on the valence ‘Z’ is identified.

AbstractThe theoretical investigations of the superconducting state parameters (SSP) viz. electron-phonon coupling strength λ, Coulomb pseudopotential μ*, transition temperature T C, isotope effect exponent α and effective interaction strength N O V of six binary La100-C GaC (C = 16, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 at. %) metallic glasses have been reported using Ashcroft’s empty core (EMC) model potential for the first time. Five local field correction functions proposed by Hartree (H), Taylor (T), Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F) and Sarkar et al. (S) are used in the present investigation to study the screening influence on the aforesaid properties. It is observed that the electron-phonon coupling strength λ and the transition temperature T C are quite sensitive to the selection of the local field correction functions, whereas the Coulomb pseudopotential μ*, isotope effect exponent α and effective interaction strength N O V show weak dependences on the local field correction functions. The T C obtained from H-local field correction function are found in qualitative agreement with available experimental data and show almost linear nature with the concentration (C) of ‘Ga’ element. A linear T C equation is proposed by fitting the present outcomes for H-local field correction function, which is in conformity with other results for the experimental data. Also, the present results are found to be in qualitative agreement with other such earlier reported data, which confirms the superconducting phase in the metallic glasses.

The Gibbs-Bogoliubov variational method has been considered to study the Helmholtz free energy of liquid alkali metals (Na, K, Rb and Cs) as a function of temperature, using Heine Abarenkov type model potential with Hubbard-Sham exchange and correlation function. The computed values are in very good agreement with experimental observations. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/bibechana.v9i0.7144 BIBECHANA 9 (2013) 7-12

Investigation of thermodynamic of liquid binary alloys using pseudopotential theory is reported. The potential suggested by Fiolhais et al. with its individual parameters is used for the entire calculation. A transferability of the potential from the solid to liquid medium is achieved for the presently reported binary alloy. The internal energy components, Helmholtz free energy, entropy, and total energy at various proportions of the participating alkali metals are included in the study. The comparison with the other data has been shown in the present article. Exchange and correlation effect is also tested with the help of various local field correction functions.
