Wide and small angle X-ray scattering measurements for supercritical fluid Se in the wide density region from liquid to dense vapor have been carried out using synchrotron radiation at SPring-8. The large background for the small angle spectra with the previous high-pressure vessel was much suppressed using a new vessel with a large diamond window. We carefully measured wide angle X-ray scattering near the critical density and obtained the structure factor, S(k), and the pair distribution functions, g(r). By small angle X-ray scattering measurements, we succeeded in observing a medium-range fluctuation in the semiconductor-metal transition in expanded fluid Se.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
