The Monte Carlo method has been applied to a charged soft-sphere model for the ions in aqueous NiCl2 to calculate the Ni-Ni partial structure factor. For some of the models investigated, the wave vector location k0 of the first peak in the partial structure factor is given closely by the equation ko = 2πp+1/3, where p+ is the particle number density of the Ni2+ ions. This is the behaviour that has been found experimentally by Enderby and coworkers and that has been interpreted in terms of a 'quasilattice' structure in the solutions. The present results indicate that rather general and non-specific structural features are sufficient to account for the experimental data.

A comparison between the resonant scattering curve obtained by anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering at the X-ray absorption edge of Ni and the complementary small-angle neutron scattering curve from an Al89Ni6La5alloy sample is reported. The sample does not comply with the two-phase approximation. The two resulting scattering curves are approximately proportional to each other in this particular case. The anomalous small-angle X-ray scattering resonant curve at the Ni absorption edge equals the Ni–Ni partial structure factor and, owing to the favourable neutron scattering lengths of Ni, La and Al, the neutron scattering curve is also proportional to that partial structure factor.

A formalism for model-independent determination of element-specific partial structures at buried interfaces using the phase-dependent behavior of resonant anomalous X-ray reflectivity (RAXR) data is described. Each RAXR spectrum (i.e.reflectivityversusenergy at a fixed momentum transfer near the absorption edge of interest) is uniquely constrained by the amplitude and phase of the resonant partial structure factor with pre-determined non-resonant total structure factor and anomalous dispersion corrections of the resonant species. The element-specific partial density distribution is then imaged by discrete Fourier synthesis with the partial structure factor. The utility of this approach is demonstrated in the comparison of Rb+and Sr2+distributions at muscovite (001)–aqueous solution interfaces derived by model-independent and model-dependent approaches. This imaging method is useful for rapid determination of complex buried interfacial structures where element-specific atomic distributions are poorly constrained by conventional X-ray reflectivity analysis.

By neutron diffraction using the method of isotopic substitution with the amorphous alloy Ni31Dy69 the partial structure factors SNiNi, SDyDy and SNiDy were obtained, furthermore with the same specimen containing 10 a/o deuterium a partial structure factor SDD resulted. For the evaluation of SDD it was necessary to perform the neutron diffraction experiment with an alloy whose both components were zero scattering isotopic mixtures of Ni or Dy, respectively.
