Energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction(EDXD) technique for structural studies of disordered materials. Application to SiO₂, SrP₂O₆, Pd₈₀Si₂₀, Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P₁₄B₆ glasses and liquid Hg

Structure factors in the wave vector Q region larger than 200 nm^-1 and corresponding radial distribution functions with improved resolution for SiO₂ and SrP₂O₆ oxide glasses, Pd₈₀Si₂₀ and Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P₁₄B₆ metallic glasses, and liquid Hg have been obtained by the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXD) method. Structure data obtained by the present study were compared with the previous wide-angle diffraction experiments of the same disordered materials and the reliability and usefulness of EDXD method were demonstrated.
