Abstract:

The velocity autocorrelation function ψ(t) of liquid rubidium is computed by the molecular dynamics method for six states of the saturated density above the melting point. The interaction between rubidium ions is calculated using the pseudopotential method with paying attention to the density-dependence of the pseudopotential parameters, and proved useful to describe structures of liquid rubidium in expanded states. The computed self-diffusion constant of rubidium ion is in good agreement with experiments near the melting point, and can be represented by the Tn-law with n = 1.65 over the simulated states. The negative plateau of ψ(t) found near the melting point diminishes quickly as the density decreases, and the positive long-time memory in the memory function M(t) is found only near the melting point. The frequency spectra of ψ(t) and M(t) change also substantially with decreasing density.
