Liquids are known to characterized by the structural homogeneity as well as the fluidity. This is true in various simple metals and alloys in the liquid states. However, some of liquid alloys, particularly systems including the semiconducting elements such as Te and Se, indicated a peculiar behavior in their electronic and thermodynamic properties at a certain concentration near the melting point and then the structural inhomogeneity is quite feasible in such liquid alloys. An attempt has been made in this paper to provide current information on the evidence of structural inhomogeneity in liquid alloys using the X-ray diffraction results of liquid Ga-Te alloys as an example.
