Towards the extrapolation of the valence-valence electron partial structure factor for liquid Mg near freezing from a combination of theory and experiment

Egelstaff, March, and McGill (1973) proposed the extraction of electron correlation functions in liquids from scattering data. Here, we appeal to computer simulation by de Wijs et al. (1995) on the partial structure factor [GRAPHICS] between ions (i) and valence electrons (v) for liquid Mg near freezing, to write the valence-valence partial structure factor [GRAPHICS] in terms of [GRAPHICS] and the neutron structure factor [GRAPHICS] , to high accuracy.
