Critical region and metal-nonmetal transition in expanded fluid mercury: advanced evaluation of small-angle X-ray scattering data

The small-angle X-ray scattering data of expanded fluid mercury in the critical region and the metal-nonmetal transition have been interpreted in terms of a two-phase system. The results shed new light on the structure of mercury in this region.

Small-angle X-ray scattering of two-phase systems: significance of polydispersity

Evaluation of the small-angle X-ray scattering of two-phase systems allows the determination of a measure of the polydispersity of the chord lengths within the dilute phase, which depends on the size distribution and the shape of the particles forming this phase.
