Abstract
A neutron diffraction measurement has been performed for molten TlCl, a mon ovalent transition metal chloride, at 800 K. The radial distribution functi on showed very broad peak owing to the large polarizability of the ions. Ho wever, the ratio of the r value of the second peak to the first 1.43 seems to show NaCl type local structure of the melt in spite of the CsCl type cry stal structure. This finding has been supported by molecular dynamics calcu lation.
