Abstract
The structure factor (or interference function) I(K) for liquid zinc has been evaluated at five temperatures in the range 446°C to 750°C. The maximum temperature was limited by the high vapor pressure and chemical reactivity of liquid zinc, but was higher than that obtained in previous X-ray and neutron diffraction studies. Measurements were made in transmission geometry using Ag Kα radiation, and covered a K-range of 0.4 Å −1 – 10.0 Å −1. The data were corrected for sample and cell absorption, incoherent and multiple scattering, and the resulting I(K) were subsequently transformed to yield the total correlation functions, T(r), which provide a description of the short range order in the liquid. In contrast to previous X-ray studies, the structure factors agree well with those obtained by neutron diffraction.
