Research Abstract |
In discussing the nature and behaviour of materials, density is an indispensable basic quantity. Experimental and theoretical studies on density have been made in this work. Both the dilatometric method and the indirect archimedean method have been used for continuous measurements of density from solid to liquid. In addition, theoretical analyses of density have also been carries out. The essential points of the two techniques used in this experiment are described in the reference book. the results obtained are as follows: 1. The experimental errors of approximately 0.2-0.3% have been estimated for the density values of solid and liquid indium-tin and gallium-indium alloys. 2. The density values for pure liquid gallium and indium at their melting points are 6.128x10^3kgm^<-3> and 7.024x10^3kgm^<-3>, respectively. 3. The isothermal densities of both solid and liquid indium-tin alloys show negative deviations from the additivity principle. 4. The isothermal densities of both solid and liquid gallium-indium alloys show positive deviations from the additivity principle. 5. The temperature dependence of liquid metal density varies periodically with atomic number. 6. The temperature dependence of liquid metal density is proportional to the product of the repulsive exponent of the pair potential and the square root of the atomic weight. 7. At present, mercury is the only liquid metal whose density is accurately known. More accurate density data on various materials are still needed.
