Abstract

In comprehensive investigations the perturbation treatment of the Lebowitz equation with a square well attractive tail is utilised to calculate the partial and total structure factors at different atomic fractions of potassium in the potassium-rubidium melt. Further the Bhatia-Thornton correlation functions are evaluated. Using the direct correlation function in the long-wave limit, the isothermal compressibilities are calculated through the Kirkwood-Buff equation. The partial structure factors are then utilised to calculate the self-diffusion coefficients using the linear trajectory approximation due to Helfand.
