A Search for Two Types of Transverse Excitations in Liquid Polyvalent Metals at Ambient Pressure: An Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Study of Collective Excitations in Liquid Al, Tl, and Ni

Recent findings of pressure-induced emergence of unusual high-frequency contribution to transverse current spectral functions in several simple liquid metals at high pressures raised a question whether similar features can be observed in liquid metals at ambient conditions. We report here analysis o...
