Abstract
The Knight shift for binary alkali systems in the liquid phase is analyzed in terms of a simple augmented plane wave approximation (A.P.W.). A proper normalization of the electron wave functions combined with the concentration dependence of the Pauli susceptibility gives a reasonable prediction of the Knight shift of both components as a function of concentration.
