Abstract
For pt.II see ibid., vol.15, p.4635 (1982). The total structure factor of liquid Tl2Te has been measured by neutron diffraction and compared with the prediction in k-space of the mean spherical model of an ionic liquid consisting of Tl+ and Te2- ions. Good overall agreement is achieved. The total radial distribution function in real space has been investigated and it is concluded that models of the melt based on discrete molecules should be abandoned.
