Abstract
The theory of Levin, Bass and Bennemann (see abstr. A69754 of 1971 and abstr. A65117 of 1972) for the spin susceptibility of transition metal alloys is generalized to describe the properties of liquid metal alloys. The short range structural order in the liquid alloy is taken into account using a lattice theory with the lattice chosen to match the experimentally measured short range behaviour of the liquids. The theory is applied to the alloy systems Au-Ni and Au-Fe and the results are compared to experimental measurements on these systems, and found to give good agreement.
