S. Depanfilis et A. Filipponi, SHORT-RANGE ORDER IN LIQUID TELLURIUM PROBED BY X-RAY-ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY, Europhysics letters, 37(6), 1997, pp. 397-402
We have performed X-ray absorption measurements on crystalline and liq
uid Te with a third-generation synchrotron radiation source obtaining
extremely high-quality data. Reliable short-range pair correlation fun
ctions have been determined using ab initio multiple-scattering calcul
ations taking into account the medium-range structure evaluated by pre
vious neutron and X-ray scattering studies.
