Theab initiopotential energy curves of atom pairs and transport properties of high-temperature vapors of Cu and Si and their mixtures with He, Ar, and Xe gases

Abstract

Theab initiopotential energy curves for the He–He, Ar–Ar, Cu–Cu, Si–Si, Cu–He, Cu–Ar, Cu–Xe, Si–He, Si–Ar, and Si–Xe dimers are obtained and used to find the transport coefficients of Cu and Si vapors and their mixtures with He, Ar, and Xe gases.
