Outline and Purpose of the Course Liquid metals consist of mobile ions and free electrons, so it can be regarded a two-component (ions and electrons) charged system (plasma). This lecture will give explanations focusing on the following themes. The basic idea to understand the physical properties of liquid metal, the interactions between constituent particles (ions and electrons), and the physical properties of liquid metals. Lecture on experiments using X-ray scattering for measuring the physical properties of liquid metals will be given, in which the principle and the examples of the experiments will be explained.
Course Goals To learn the basic idea to understand the physical properties of liquid metal.
Schedule and Contents The following lectures will be given focusing on the physical properties of liquid metals.
