Analysis of the Silica Sol Surface Structure by X-Ray Scattering Method
The structure of the planar surface of colloidal solutions of amorphous 27-nm silica sol particles enriched with heavy K+, Rb+, and Cs+ alkali ions is studied by the methods of reflectometry and diffuse (nonspecu...

Observation of five-fold local symmetry in liquid lead
The local point symmetry of the short-range order in simple monatomic liquids remains a fundamental open question in condensed-matter science. For more than 40 years it has been conjectured1,2,3,4 that liquids wi...
