Abstract

Along with a few elastic constants, a recently created pseudopotential is employed to examine the vibrational properties of some simple alkali metals, i.e. Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs. The phonon dispersion curves (PDC) are computed in the text. (ωL and ωT), longitudinal sound velocity (vl), transverse sound velocity (vt), isothermal bulk modulus (B), modulus of rigidity (G), Young’s modulus (Y ), Debye temperature (θD) of some liquid alkali metals. The second order technique used in the current work, using Hubbard and Beeby (HB) equations, is based on pseudopotential theory. The various Percus-Yevick hard sphere (PYHS) and one-component plasma (OCP) structure factors used in the current investigation are used to construct the pair correlation function g(r). The current paper makes use of three distinct forms of local field correction functions developed by Hartree (H), Taylor (T), and Nagy (N). The current findings are found to qualitatively agree with the experimental and theoretical data that is currently available.
