“…The rigid ion model (RIM) is based on the ion pair potential of the Vashishta and Rahman functional form, 19 Cu I / bb = 2.13, the S CuCu (k) contribution to the S N (k) for CuI is very high and S N (k) exhibits a clear prepeak. 9,11,32 In molten AgI, since Ag b = 5.922 fm, and thus 22 Ag I / bb = 1.14, its S N (k) only presents a small maximum. 10,29 In CuCl, because of the lower chloride polarizability and because of 22 Cu Cl / bb = 0.65, the small shoulder can hardly be distinguished in its S N (k), but it can be appreciated in its A X (k) because of 22 Cu Cl / ff 3.13.…”
