Abstract
The atomic structure of liquid In—Te and Tl—Te alloys have been investigated as a function of composition and temperature by means of X-ray diffraction. The following features emerge from this experiment. The structure of liquid In—Te alloys is similar to that of pure Te in the range of composition from 35 to 100 at % Te. This implies that the structure of pure Te plays a significant role in these alloys. At the composition of In2Te3, the second peak near the region ofQ=3.2A−1 disappears with the increase of temperature. This corresponds to the breakdown of the electron localization based on the measurement of magnetic susceptibility. On the other hand, there is no substantial change in the structure of liquid Tl—Te alloys as the delocalization temperature of the electrons is approached.
