Description

Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements for expanded fluid Hg have been carried out in wide density region including the metal-non-metal (M-NM) transition region at 9.0 g cm-3 and the liquid-vapor critical region at 5.8 g cm-3 using synchrotron radiation at SPring-8. We could observe the liquid-vapor critical scattering intensity in fluid Hg with good statistics and also SAXS intensity in the M-NM transition region. The latter result suggests that characteristic fluctuations are induced in the M-NM transition in expanded fluid Hg. (author)
