Time-of-flight neutron diffraction has been measured on both liquid Tl-As2Te3and Tl-As2Se3systems, which exhibit the metal-non-metal transition at the Tl-rich composition. Liquid As2Te3contains direct As-As bonds in the first coordination shell as well as As-Te and perhaps Te-Te bonds, while liquid As2Se3contains only As-Se bonds in the first coordination shell. The coordination number of component atoms in both liquids was determined to be three for As, and two for Te and Se, through a least-squares fit to the observed intensity function. The first sharp diffraction peak in S(Q) in liquid As2X3(X: Te or Se), relating to -As-X-As- linkages, rapidly decreases upon the addition of Tl and disappears completely in the transition composition range in both liquid Tl-As2X3systems. In the liquid Tl-As2Te3system, Ass-Te bonds are gradually replaced by partially ionic Tl-Te bonds with increasing Tl content, leading to the sharp metal-non-metal transition at Tl6As2Te3. On the other hand, As-Se bonds in the liquid selenide system remain even in the vicinity of the transition composition, strongly influencing the electronic properties over a wide composition range.
