Liquid Metals

Concepts and Theory
Herausgeber: Landshoff, P. V.

Produktbeschreibung

Liquid metals remain of both fundamental and technological interest and the concepts needed to understand their properties are set out in this book, starting from a survey of the basic experimental facts to be explained. The quantitative theory of liquid pair correlation functions, effective ion-ion interactions, thermodynamic properties and electronic and atomic transport is then developed. The book goes on to discuss inelastic neutron scattering, critical behaviour, magnetism, the liquid/metal surface, binary liquid metal alloys, the two component theory of pure liquid metals, shock wave studies, liquid hydrogen plasmas and the constitution of giant planets.

Table of contents:
Preface; 1. Outline; 2. Pair correlation function and structure factors of ions; 3. Thermodynamics; 4. Electron screening and effective ion-ion interactions; 5. Inter-ionic forces and structural theories; 6. Statistical mechanics of inhomogeneous systems and freezing theory; 7. Electronic and atomic transport; 8. Hydrodynamic limits of correlation functions and neutron inelastic scattering; 9. Critical behaviour; 10. Electronic states, including critical region; 11. Magnetism of normal and especially of expanded liquid metals; 12. Liquid-vapour surface; 13. Binary liquid metal alloys; 14. Two-component theory of pure liquid metals; 15. Shock wave studies; 16. Liquid hydrogen plasmas and constitution of Jupiter; Appendices; References; Index.
