Calculation of Electronic Susceptibility of Liquid Akali Metals Using Model Pseudopotential

Abstract

In this work, the electronic susceptibility of (Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) liquid metals were calculated using the model pseudopotential form factor and the structure factor derived through the charge hard sphere model. From the work, the calculated values for each of these liquid metals were respectively obtained as 3.694, 2.398, 2.062, 2.044 and 2.013 while their experimental values are respectively given as 3.650, 1.880, 2.029, 2.031, and 2.733. A good agreement between theoretical investigation and experimental findings proves the strength and ability of this potential.
