Partial Structure Factors of Compound Forming Na-Pb Binary Liquid Alloy Using Ab-Initio Pseudopotentials

Abstract

The partial structure factors of compound forming NaPb alloy with the formation of two compounds simultaneously have been studied using Hoshino’s m-component hard sphere mixture, which is based on Percus-Yevic equation of Hiroike. Formulae have been applied to NaPb with the formation of two compounds NaPb, & Na4Pb simultaneously. Hard sphere diameters have been obtained using Troullier and Martin’s ab-initio pseudopotentials. Total partial structure factors have been found to be in good agreement with experimental total partial structure factors.
