Abstract
The partial pair distribution functions for molten rubidium, chloride have been determined by neutron scattering from isotopically doped samples. The Cl isotope was varied from the natural abundance for 35Cl and 37Cl to enriched 35Cl and enriched 37Cl. By using a specially prepared vanadium container, a much simpler container scattering correction was achieved compared with that for the silica container used in other work on halides. The results are compared with the molecular dynamics simulation of Dixon and Sangster: the agreement is good.
