Annotation

A well established local pseudopotential of Fiolhais et al. is used to study the electrical transport properties i.e. electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermoelectric power (TEP) of some liquid elements using model pseudopotential theory with Ziman’s and mean free path models. Taylor’s local field correction function is utilized to investigate the exchange and correlation effect on the said properties. The one component plasma (OCP) method is adopted for computing the structure factor of liquid metals. The presently obtained results are compared well with other such outcomes wherever exists and found fruitful.
