要旨

The partial structure factors (PSF) of molten ZnCl2 at 600 K have been known since 1981 due to the neutron diffraction experiments by Biggin and Enderby (S. Biggin and J. E. Enderby, J. Phys. C, 1981, 14, 3129). It is shown in this article that the set of PSF derived from this experiment is not consistent with new X-ray diffraction data with much better statistical accuracy. A new set of PSF is derived, which corrects this deficiency. The first diffraction peak is not dominated by the cation–cation-PSF and the set of PSF shows similarities to the PSF of glassy GeO2 and SiO2 determined recently. The derived PSF are shown to be insensitive to whether ionic or atomic form-factors are used.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
