Abstract

The X-ray diffraction pattern of liquid Ge recorded by diffractometer between 964 and 1130°C provided a temperature-independent interference function presenting a low first peak with a shoulder on its high angle side. The corresponding r.d.f. shows 7.1 first neighbors at 2.8 Å, all order being lost beyond about 6 Å. The experimental interference function cannot be fitted to one derived from a hard-sphere model, but is in good agreement with a ball and spoke model based upon a white tin-like short-range order.
