Abstract
In this chapter the focus is on the effects of electronic correlation in disordered systems, with particular reference to liquid metals. As in crystalline solids, it is useful to consider theoretically two limiting cases:
-
1.
The nearly free electron limit, which is most appropriate to the simple sp metals Na and K, and
-
2.
The tight-binding limit, which is relevant to the discussion of d-electrons—for example, in liquid transition metals.
