Effective pair potentials of molten AgBr, CuBr, CuI and RbBr estimated from measured partial structure data

Abstract The effective pair potentials of molten AgBr, CuBr, CuI and RbBr were calculated from measured structural data using a solution of the modified hypernetted-chain equation coupled with the ‘predictor–corrector’ method. The present effective pair potentials and model potentials were also applied to the theoretical calculation of self-diffusion and viscosity coefficients of molten NaCl, AgBr, CuBr, CuI and RbBr using the well-known kinetic theory of dense fluids. The usefulness and validity of the effective pair potentials presently obtained for these four molten salts were confirmed by reproducing the structure behavior and some physical properties.
