Abstract
Some experimental results obtained previously on the structure of noncrystalline films of close-packed metals are interpreted in the light of some recent publications. These concern computer-generated details of atomic packing in idealized models of amorphous structure which are applicable to material prepared by deposition methods. Agreement between experiment and the model calculations is good, but small differences are pointed out which suggest a compromise between the various approaches.Keywords
