Abstract

Abstract The method of multipattern analysis based on neutron diffraction from isotopically different samples has been applied to a 4.35 molal solution of NiCl2 in D2O. Seven distinct scattering patterns were obtained at a temperature of 21 °C and the particle-particle pair functions for correlations between Cl- and D2O, Ni2+ and D2O, Cl- and Cl-, Ni2+ and Ni2+ and Ni2+ and Cl- were extracted from the data. The results are used to obtain a real-space description of the ions and their immediate environment.
