Abstract:
An analysis of the structure features of liquid Co-Sn alloys has been performed by means of X-ray diffraction method, viscosity coefficient analysis and computer simulation method. The X-ray diffraction investigations were carried out over a wide concentration range at the temperature 1473 K. It was found that the structure of these alloys can be described in the frame of independent X-ray scattering model. The viscosity coefficient was calculated by an excess entropy scaling and compared with experimental data.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
