Abstract
An attempt is made to compare the structures deduced from X-ray measurements on some pure metals, both in the liquid and the non crystalline state. With Ga and Bi, the liquid and the amorphous solid structures show some similarities and seem to be correlated with the solid phase which occurs when crystallisation takes place. Different behaviour is found with Hg : the liquid structure factor differs from the structure factor in the amorphous state whose main peak is symmetric in form
