Local geometric structures of instantaneous resonant modes in Ga liquids

Recently, we have numerically found the instantaneous resonant modes (IRMs) in high-temperature Ga liquids. The occurrence of these IRMs is attributed to the cooperation of the exotic repulsive core of the Ga pseudopotential and the local volume expansion. In this paper, the local structures around the quasilocalized centers of these IRMs are analyzed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
