Abstract

Aqueous solutions of gadolinium chloride and gadolinium nitrate are studied by X-ray diffraction over wide ranges of concentrations under standard temperature and pressure. Small-angle peaks on measured scattering intensity curves are interpreted. Small-angle peaks are found not only on the intensity curves for concentrated solutions, but also on those for dilute systems, and this proves that these systems retain a long-range order. Diverse types of ion-ion interactions are shown to be the major contributors to the overall scattering pattern that are responsible for the appearance of pre-peaks.
