Abstract
From the results of X-ray, magnetic and nuclear scattering experiments, the partial structure factors, and hence the pair correlation functions, have been obtained for amorphous TbFe2. The atoms are highly coordinated on a local level, but with practically no order extending beyond second neighbours. The structure is quite distinct from either crystal or liquid order, but certain gross features are similar to each.
