Structure factors of liquids containing chemical complexes

Abstract
A theory of the three partial structure factors of an A-B alloy containing Aμ Bv complexes is set up as composites of the structure factors for the three component system. Applying the theory to liquid Ga with Ga2 complexes, the shoulder observed on the liquid structure factor at 50°C is interpreted as arising from bond-centre (Ga2)-Ga correlations
