Abstract
New measurements have been made of the intensity patterns of liquid indium at 160°c and 498°c. Previous work indicated that a subsidiary maximum might be found on the high angle side of the main peak; no such maximum was found. No change with temperature was found for the first peak position of either the intensity pattern, (sin θ)/λ − 0·182 Å−1, or the radial distribution function, r=3·3 Å. The only effect on the intensity pattern of increasing the temperature was that the pattern became broader. A method of measuring changes in shape of intensity patterns was introduced.
