Structure and resistivity of liquid Ga between 303K and 573K

The electrical resistivity for liquid Ga between 303K and 573K is calculated from the Ziman formula, using structure factors which have been measured with a great accuracy and various pseudopotentials. It is shown that two forms of pseudopotentials provide the authors with a fair agreement between the calculated resistivity and the experimental one measured by Pokorny and Astrom (1976). The part played by the effective mass and the empty-core radius is outlined in a discussion.
