Abstract

The deviation from ideal mixture behavior and concentration dependent symmetry in the microscopic and surface properties of K-Na liquid alloy is investigated within a simple statistical model. The concentration dependent of microscopic functions(concentration fluctuation in the long wavelength limit, Warren-Cowley short range order parameter) and surface properties(surface concentration and surface tension) has got special attention to show a tendency of like atom pairing in the mixture. The theoretical analysis reveals that energy parameter is temperature dependent, K-Na alloys is of weakly interacting system and K-atoms segregates on the surface of K-Na liquid alloys at bulk concentration of Na.
