Abstract
In Part I, the basic features of radiation scattering experiments and their application to hydrogeneous liquids and glasses were discussed. Initial experiments which explored the structural differences between hydrogenated and deuterated liquids or glasses were reviewed. In Part II, the advantages of using modern synchrotron radiation sources, especially their use to obtain higher quality data more rapidly, will be described. Then the recent results on water, benzene, amorphous ice, methanol and ethanol (obtained by these methods) will be discussed. It is concluded that this field has developed to the point where very interesting experiments (from both the observational and theoretical points of view) may be conducted reasonably quickly and with good precision. Moreover the programs reviewed here have produced results which have been of value both in testing modern theories for liquids and glasses, and in contributing to the improvement of the experimental methods used in these fields.
