Abstract
We present and analyse the effect of the addition of up to 25% of KCl on the structure of molten potassium. At these metallic concentrations salient features of the salt structure are becoming apparent. The small angle scattering behavior and preliminary excess volume data point to strong deviation from regularity at very high metal concentration.
