ELECTRON DIFFRACTION STUDY OF THE LOCAL ATOMIC ARRANGEMENT IN AMORPHOUS TlCl AND CuCl FILMS.

Thin films of amorphous TlCl and CuCl have been prepared by low temperature condensation in high vacuum, and a transmission electron diffraction study of them has been undertaken. A radial distribution analysis from the diffuse halo patterns obtained has been made and the local atomic arrangements in amorphous TlCl and CuCl are discussed by comparison of the experimental W(r) ( equals rho (r)/ rho //0) with W(r)'s calculated from disordered crystalline models.
