X-Ray Reflectivity Measurements of Surface Layering in Liquid Mercury
Open accessAbstract
The surface normal structure of the mercury liquid-vapor interface has been investigated by measuring the x-ray reflectivity out to a momentum transfer of ${q}_{z}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}2.5$ ${\mathrm{\AA{}}}^{--1}$. The results provide direct experimental proof of surface layering in liquid metals. The layer spacing is given by the atomic dimensions of the Hg atoms. The minimum layer width agrees well with the predictions of capillary wave theory; the layering amplitude decays into the bulk with a characteristic length of 3--3.5 \AA{}, which is close to the decay length of the bulk pair correlation function.

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.
