Abstract

We present a brief overview of the current status of the calculations of the electronic structure of liquid and amorphous transition metals and alloys. In particular we discuss the effects of topological disorder, alloying and s,p,d, hybridisation onto the local and total density of states. We show how the knowledge of density of states can be used within the Mott model to give satisfactory quantitative results for transport properties of pure transition metals. As an extension of these ideas we discuss the resistivity and thermopower of transition metal glassy alloys within a simple two-band model.
