Atom pair potentials of liquid nitrogen from diffraction data

Abstract
The structure function of liquid nitrogen at 65 K and a molecular density of ρ=0.01851 Å−3 has been derived from new x‐ray diffraction data. The RISM integral equation method was used to obtain a repulsive reference pair potential from this structure function. The results indicate that RISM integral equation method gives reliable repulsive reference potentials.
