THE STRUCTURE OF LIQUID GA-IN ALLOYS

Using X-ray diffraction, the structure factors of molten Ga-In alloys were determined as a function of composition at 5 K above the liquidus and at a constant 443 K. The nearest neighbour distances and coordina tion numbers, obtained from the pair correlation functions, are given. Both structure factors and pair correlation functions could be well r eproduced by a micro-inhomogeneous model, proposed by Iljinskij.
