Structure of Liquid Gallium and Rubidium by Pulsed Neutron Diffraction Using Electron Linac(Physics)

Abstract

The static structure factors of liquid gallium and rubidium were measured at several temperatures above their melting points using the time of flight neutron diffractometer installed on the 300MeV Tohoku University electron linac as a pulsed neutron source. The characteristic oscillation of the structure factor of liquid gallium in a high momentum transfer region has been shown to be well understood in terms of a diatomic molecule-like atomic association with the bond
