Abstract
An evaluation of the partial interference functions for a dilute binary liquid alloy in terms of the interference function of the solvent is presented. The calculation neglects size effects, but the influence of the short-range chemical order effect on the partial interference functions is studied. A quasichemical statistical treatment allows a calculation of the chemical effect to be made Results are presented for dilute alloys of Zn‒Al and Cu‒Sb and a direct comparison with experiment is made in the case of liquid Ag0.285 Li0.715.
