Structure Study of Liquid Neon by Neutron Diffraction

Abstract

Neutron‐diffraction measurements with high statistical accuracy were performed on liquid neon at 35.05°K and at three different densities. The structure factors S(κ), measured to momentum transfers κ of 13.2 Å⁻¹, show a density‐dependent structure well beyond 6 Å⁻¹. The data have been used to calculate the radial distribution functions g(r), the direct correlation functions c(r), and effective interatomic potentials.
