Abstract

ABSTRACT: We have done an investigation of viscosity and self-diffusion coefficient of gallium and indium in a wide temperature range using the interaction potentials of constituent particles in disordered media. Correlation and reliance between the viscosity constant and diffusion constant have been determined theoretically and justify with experimental results. The calculation of pair distribution functions and correlations for the hard sphere fluid are based on generalised mean spherical approximation. At the functional temperature of the melting point, the metallic viscosity becomes minimised gradually with decreasing density. The excellent agreements between the present results and experimental data concluded the appropriate use of our advanced model potential.
