Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids 250-252 437 (1999)
Structural and electronic properties are investigated in a
fragmented-chain model for liquid tellurium and selenium. From the
energy necessary to cut a bond, it is indicated that liquid Te is
in fragmented chains while Se remains in long chains. Redistribution
of electron density leads to configurations where the bonding energy
in fragmented Te chains is smaller.
