Abstract
The authors calculate a structure factor for the liquid alkali metals assuming that the soft core of the potential plays the dominant structure-determining role. The structure factor is calculated in an analytic form suitable for fitting to experimental data. They obtain good agreement with existing measurements on Na, K and Rb.Keywords
