The structures of liquid Hg and the dilute liquid Hg alloys with 0.5 and 2 atomic percent Cd, and 0.5 and 1 atomic percent Pb have been studied by x-ray diffraction using a theta-theta diffractometer with monochromator in the diffracted beam. The addition of 0.5 or 2 atomic percent Cd into Hg did not produce any detectable change in the interference function I (K), where K=4π (sin Θ)/λ, whereas small additions of Pb seem to reduce the asymmetry of the first peak of 1(K) which is observed in pure Hg. Small additions of Pb also cause a slight shift of the second peak of l (K) to smaller K-values. The present results have been used to offer a possible interpretation of the structure of Hg as observed in the liquid state.

The interaction of a solid inert metal Ru with liquid active metal Ga during mechanical activation in a high-energy planetary ball mill was studied using the X-ray diffraction and the high resolution scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray microanalyses. This paper considers mechanical activation effects on formation of intermetallic compounds GaxRuy and their solubility in concentrated acids. Gallium is a surface-active substance with respect to Ruthenium. Under intensive mechanical treatment, liquid Gallium penetrates into grain boundaries of polycrystalline Ruthenium particles and sharply reduces their strength. Because of severe mechanical deformation, an intensive increase of contact surface between solid and liquid metals observed, which a place of rapid formation of intermetallic compounds. This processing leads to high reactive products of mechanical activation of Ga + Ru. Their interaction with a mixed concentrated hydrochloric and nitric acid allows Ruthenium (~37%) to pass into an acidic solution, forming complex compounds of the HxRuCly type (H2RuCl6).
