Abstract
Experiments show that two structures simultaneously occur in liquid-like solid amorphous and in molten Bi and Ga, i.e., the spherical close packing in the form of a straight atomic chain and the layer lattice structure. In Bi the layer lattices are derived from the respective lattice and in Ga they are remainders of the lattice. In solid amorphous Fe the spherical close packing shows up as a zigzag chain in the atomic distribution curve as in molten Na. Differing from Bi and Ga, in amorphous Fe the layer lattices are parts of the lattice.
