Abstract
The wave-vector dependence of the liquid-vapor interfacial tension of Ga, gamma(q), has been determined from diffuse x-ray scattering measurements. The ratio gamma(q)/gamma(0)=1 for q infinity ) behavior are used. The detailed behavior of gamma(q)/gamma(0) depends on the particular forms of both the interfacial density profile and the asymptotic falloff of the atomic pair interaction.Keywords
