Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To gain microscopic understanding for valence electronic state in liquid metals, we carried out the investigation for observing the electron dynamical structure factor, which is the momentum-frequency spectrum of the space-time correlation of the electron density fluctuations. By using synchrotron-based inelastic X-ray scattering technique, we succeeded to measure dynamical structure factors of valence electrons in liquid lithium and sodium over a wide range of momentum-energy transfers. From obtained dynamical structure factors, we derived a wave-number dependent static density response function of valence electrons in the liquid. Furthermore, we used dynamical density response functions to clarify the real space-time screening dynamics of valence electrons induced by a point charge disturbance.
