γ lv ( T m )/ T m ( × 10 -4 J/m 2 -K)
Figure 9. - γ′ lv0 ( T m ) as a function of γ lv0 ( T m )/ T m for (a) IA and IB ( , ) as well as (b) IIA and IIB ( 8 ) metals.
Noted that γ lv ( T m ) = 359, 466, 305 mJ/m 2 for Mg, Zn and Cd based on Eq. (5.6-a) are
employed in plotting figures 7 and 9, the existences of these linear correlations imply that
these calculated values may be reasonable.
In terms of Eq. (5.7), the contribution of S on γ′ lv0 ( T m ) value ranges from 36% (for metals
like Nb and Pt with larger γ lv0 values) to 78% (for metals like Cd, Li and Sr with smaller γ lv0
values). Neither S nor dρ L /d T is thus negligible.
Estimation of γ lv0 (T) and γ′ lv0 (T) Functions
Figure 10a shows the comparison of γ lv0 ( T )/γ lv0 ( T m ) between the predictions of Eq. (5.6-
b), Eq. (5.3) and the available experimental results for transition metals Ni, Co, Re and W
with good agreement [168,193-195]. The experimental data for liquid Ni, Co, Re and W in
the temperature ranges of 1573~1893, 1541~1943, 2800~3600 and 3360~3700 K respectively
correspond to the undercooling of 155, 227, 659 and 320 K as well as the overheating of 165,
175, 141 and 20 K [168,193-195]. The plots in terms of Eq. (5.3) and Eq. (5.6-b) are nearly
identical for Co, Re and W. Although it seems that the difference between Eq. (5.3) and Eq.
(5.6-b) is large for Ni, its actual value is only about 1%. The agreements shown in figure 11a
not only confirm the validities of Eqs. (5.3) and (5.6-b), but also indicate that the linear
correlation between γ lv0 ( T ) and T exists at T near T m (including T < T m and T T m ), namely,
Eqs. (5.3) and (5.6-b) are also applicable for supercooled liquid metals.
Figure 10b shows the comparisons of γ lv0 ( T )/γ lv0 ( T m ) between the predictions of Eq. (5.6-
b) and the available experimental results for non-transition metals Na, K, Rb and Cs [196-
197]. It is found that the differences between the predictions and the experimental data are
smaller than 5% where the experimental data encompass the largest temperature range (from
T m to 3.5 T m ) to the best of our knowledge. Here, the approximately linear relation between
γ lv0 ( T ) and T is present again, which implies that Eq. (5.3) is a good approximation of Eq.
(5.6-b).
