Abstract
There are presented the results of a test of transferability of the local evanescent core (LEC) pseudopotential proposed by
Fiolhais et.al. to the chalcogen liquid alloys. The test is a comparison of the static structure of simple liquid metals and liquid
CdTe alloys with the experimental results. The structural properties are calculated using the Variational Modified
Hypernetted Chain (VMHNC) liquid state theory. It has been found that the liquid structure obtained using the LEC
pseudopotential is in better agreement with the experimental data than other potentials.
