Temperature Dependent Surface Properties of Liquid Alkali Metals

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
