Short Range Correlation between Molecules in the Liquid CS_2

Abstract

The time-of-flight neutron scattering measurements were carried out for liquid CS₂. In order to study coordination structure, Revere Monte Carlo (RMC) fit have been performed. The obtained molecular configurationsare independent from the number of molecules or the initialconfiguration. It is found that the nearest-neighbor CS₂ molecule forms up parallel configuration and the distance between the centers of molecules is about 3.8 Å.On the other hand, the CS₂ molecules at distance of5.0 Å form T configuration.
