Abstract:

The electrical transport properties namely the electrical resistivity (ρ), the thermoelectric power (TEP) and the thermal conductivity (σ) of several polyvalent alloys like In1-xBix and Sn1-xBix were calculated from the pseudopotential form factors and Percus-Yevic (PY) hard sphere structure factors of Ashcroft and Langreth. The well-recognized empty core model (EMC) potential of Ashcroft is used for the first time with seven local field correction functions due to Hartree (H), Hubbard-Sham (HS), Vashista-Singwi (VS), Taylor (T), Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F) and Sarkar et al. (S) in the present computation and found suitable for such study. It is concluded that the comparison of present and experimental findings is highly encouraging.
