摘要
The surface entropies of liquid transition and noble metals Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Ag have been investigated. Surface entropy expression involving hard-sphere (HS) interaction in closed form is used. Since the HS diameter depends on metallic properties and temperature, the temperature dependent effective HS diameter is determined from a well-known perturbation theory, linearized Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (LWCA) and integral equation theory, variational modified hypernetted chain (VMHNC). Theoretical calculations are compared with the available experimental data, and found good agreement for some concerned systems.
