The electrical properties of liquid mercury
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to give a qualitative account of the electrical properties of liquid divalent metals for which the density of states falls below the free electron value at the Fermi surface. It is argued that if this happens in the crystalline state it will also happen in the liquid, that this is so in mercury and that the density of states rapidly decreases with increasing volume. In the first order of perturbation theory the density of states does not affect the electrical and optical properties of a liquid metal (Edwards 1962, Faber 1966), so that to this approximation Ziman's theory is correct; but when the deviations from the free electron value are large this is no longer the case. A discussion is given of the behaviour to be expected, and a qualitative description of the electrical and optical properties of liquid mercury and its amalgams can be obtained in terms of the results achieved. A brief discussion is given also of certain other disordered structures in which similar phenomena may occur.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
