Abstract

Abstract We reanalyse the published X-ray diffraction data on water with the object of deducing the isochoric temperature derivative of the structure factor of H 2 O at 4°C and 1 atm. These results are compared to the published molecular dynamics results for the MCY potential. Similar (published) neutron-diffraction results are discussed. The effect of “hydrogen-bond formation” on neutron and X-ray pair correlation functions is discussed qualitatively and quantitatively. The probable structural effects of non-additive forces are deduced from the behaviour of these derivatives, and some comments on quantum effects are given.
