Three-body effects in simple insulating liquids: a small angle neutron scattering study in Kr
3-BODY POTENTIAL EFFECTS IN THE STRUCTURE OF FLUID KRYPTON
The low-density expansion and a new integral equation have been used to calculate the pair correlation function and several related quantities for krypton, using realistic pair potentials and several models for the three-body potentials: the Axilrod-Teller-Muto model, the multipolar model up to the triple quadrupole term and the Loubeyre model. The results are compared with experimental data in some detail. The models describe the three-body effects in correlation functions in a qualitative sense, but quantitative differences are observed, suggesting that shorter-ranged effects must also be included
Neutron investigation of the ion dynamics in liquid mercury: evidence for collective excitations
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Many-body interaction effects on the low-k structure of liquid Kr
Neutron diffraction measurements and theoretical calculations of the structure factor S(k) of liquid Kr are extended to small k values (k0, reaching at least 40% of the measured intensity. Both the phase diagram and the low-k structural data of dense Kr turn out to be closely reproduced by the hierarchical reference theory if additional many-body forces are taken into account by an augmented strength of the Axilrod-Teller triple-dipole potential. The experimental density derivative of S(k) is also used for a very sensitive test of the theories and interaction models considered here
Self-dynamics and collective dynamics of liquid mercury
The low-momentum dynamics of liquid mercury has been investigated by means of inelastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Because of the rather high incoherent cross-section and the high mass of mercury. the measured dynamic structure factor is dominated by the self-correlation function, although the low-momentum collective dynamics are made accessible by the very good energy resolution of the experiment. Collective modes are clearly visible against the incoherent scattering up to a momentum transfer of 0.4A(-1) and the associated velocity is found to be 2200+/-200ms(-1), well in excess of the sound velocity which is equal to 1470ms(-1). The self-dynamics, as resulting from either the experiment or the MD simulations, turn out to be characterized by two time scales
