The liquid structure is calculated using the variational modified hypernetted chain (VMHNC) approximation. Recently proposed the modified Harrison model potential (MH) of Karmakar and Joarder has been calculated using the PW pair potentials for s electron contribution for comparison. A good agreement with the experimental data for structural properties has been found. However, VMHNC calculations using MH potential fail to yield reasonable results if one used Karmakar's data set.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLiquid StructureEffective Pair PotentialsRare-Earth Metals3d Transition-MetalsThermodynamic PropertiesPseudopotential TheoryMolecular-DynamicsAlkali-MetalsModelChsArticle34831840Q4WOS:0001728196000032-s2.0-0346657498Q4
