Abstract
Results are given for Sn, In, and Ge from the melting points up to 1700‡ C, for Pb up to 1400‡ C, for Tl up to 1100‡ C, for Bi up to 1300‡ C, and for Cd up to 600‡ C. In every case the surface tension is a linear function of temperature. Estimates are made of the critical temperatures of Cd and Ge. It is shown that deductions on the structure of the melts can be drawn from surface-tension data.
