Abstract:

This paper employs liquid metal XRD and resistivity meter to analyze the structure and cluster correlation radius of Sb95Bi5 melt and the resistivity variation with temperature in its temperature dropping process. Experimental results indicate that the cluster correlation radius of Sb95Bi5 melt varies dramatically from 700 ℃ to 675 ℃. Its resistivity temperature coefficient also changes at 698 ℃. This shows that its liquid structure varies in the temperature scope. The reason is that its Peierls transition occurs in temperatue dropping process.

Key words: liquid structure, resistivity, correlation radius, Peierls transition
