Multi-Scale Study of the Static Structure of Liquid Li70-Bi30 Alloy

A multi-scale approach is applied to study the static structure of Li70-Bi30 liquid alloy. In order to describe the interatomic interactions in this non-simple metal, we make a set of three empirical pair potentials fit ab-initio computations of the forces and energy in this system. Large scale...
