Abstract
The study of the electronic and thermophysical properties of fluid alkali metals near the gas-liquid critical point has attracted interest for decades for many technical and scientific reasons. It is the subject of numerous theoretical and experimental papers and various review articles (see e.g. Mott, 1974; Cusack, 1978; Hensel, 1980, 1982, 1984; Freyland, 1981; Yonezawa and Ogawa, 1982; Alekseev and Iakubov, 1983; Freyland and Hensel, 1985). However, considerable controversy still surrounds the exact nature of the gas-liquid critical point phase transition, in particular with regard to the role of the metal-nonmetal transition which occurs at reduced densities of the monovalent metals. The critical data are not known with sufficient certainty. A reliable theoretical prediction of such data is not possible.
