Abstract
The total structure factors of the molten MX3 salts HoCl3, ErCl3, HoBr3 and ErBr3 were measured by using neutron diffraction. The liquids comprise dis torted MX63- octahedral units and show intermediate-range ionic ordering as manifest by the first sharp diffraction peak at a scattering vector of app roximate to 0.94 Angstrom(-1) for the trichlorides and approximate to 0.80 Angstrom(-1) for the tribromides.
