Abstract

The ion-electron structure factor of liquid Ga has been estimated from the anomalous X-ray scattering (AXS) measurements near the Ga K-absorption edge for determining the electron density distribution. This data processing includes the help of the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation technique and the results clearly indicate that the electron density of liquid Ga significantly deviates from spherical distribution with respect to each central Ga ion.
