摘要
Superposition of narrow diffraction peaks and wide bands of the halo type has been observed for large, mixed Ar-Kr clusters (N=(6-9)center dot 10(4) atoms/cluster). Such a superposition shows that a crystalline solution and a phase component with short-range order (liquid-like) coexist. The effect has not been previously observed either for atomic macrosystems or for large atomic clusters. The result obtained could indicate nonclassical properties of large argon clusters doped with krypton.
