The structure of molten BaCl2 has been investigated by applying the technique of neutron diffraction to isotopically enriched samples. The three partial factors relating to Ba-Ba, Cl-Cl and Ba-Cl correlations have been successfully extracted from the experimental data. It is concluded that the correct description of the melt is in terms of Ba2+ ions and Cl- ions rather than BaCl+ complexes and Cl- ions as was earlier supposed. The observed structure of the liquid is related to the fast ionic conductivity known to characterise the high temperature (cubic) phase of solid BaCl2.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial correlations between the ions themselves and between the ion and water molecules are compared between theory and experiment, and the results of these comparisons are discussed and areas in which the theory is in urgent need of revision.

A neutron diffraction investigation of the structure of vitreous zinc chloride
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the AX 2 glasses and the corresponding crystalline polymorphs is presented, and the relationship between ZnCl 2 and the other members of the series is discussed and it is predicted that the number of shortest path seven and higher-membered rings in the non-chalcogenide AX2 glasses is likely to be small.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of molten NaCl has been reconsidered in the light of new values for the neutron scattering amplitudes of 35Cl and 37Cl, and it is shown that serious errors may arise when the melt contains large cations.

The structure factor for liquid metals I. The application of neutron diffraction techniques
TL;DR: In this article, the structure factor for liquid metals at temperatures up to 1300 °C by means of neutron diffraction techniques is described, with particular attention paid to the corrections which must be applied if reliable structure factors are to be extracted from the measurements, including those for absorption, multiple scattering and inelastic effects.
