The radial distribution curves of liquids by diffraction methods

Open access
Furukawa, K·1962·Reports on Progress in Physics

Abstract

Since the theoretical foundations of radial distribution analysis of liquid diffraction patterns were laid in 1927 by Zernike and Prins, progress in apparatus and experimental techniques has ensured a greater reliability and hence a greater confidence in the method as a means of evaluating the structure of liquids. A detailed discussion is given of apparatus and experimental methods and the procedure for processing experimental data is described from the polarization and absorption corrections to an estimation of the reliability of the final radial distribution curve. Spurious phenomena in the radial distribution curve may be due to errors in intensity observations due to statistical fluctuations, non-linearity of counter or photographic characteristics or from the termination effect which is, however, not significant for the broad distribution in liquids. A critical review is given of the individual radial distribution curves reported for monatomic, diatomic and polyatomic liquids, liquid alloys, water and its aqueous solutions, ionic liquids, molten oxides and glasses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
