1. Fluctuating Magnetic Moments in Liquid Metals?

However, origin of excess signal in Ga is multiple scattering (artifact) after all. Hg Pb
Ga experiments designed to change ratio of single/multiple scattering
Neutron scattering shows an additional cross section for liquid metals, the origin of which is/was unclear
Could be magnetic, coherent, or experimental artifact
Data shown are literature data which had been fully corrected, free of artifacts
Multiple scattering contribution to the signal is in blue. Notice that the observed scattering is very well reproduced by a combination of single, multiple, and empty cell
Origin in Hg is likely to be magnetic since the SAME procedures that identified excess Ga scattering as artifact did not remove excess scattering in Hg Ga
