  Measurements of the surface x-ray scattering from several pure liquid metals
(Hg, Ga, and In) and from three alloys (Ga-Bi, Bi-In, and K-Na) with different
heteroatomic chemical interactions in the bulk phase are reviewed.
Surface-induced layering is found for each elemental liquid metal. The surface
structure of the K-Na alloy resembles that of an elemental liquid metal. Bi-In
displays pair formation at the surface. Surface segregation and a wetting film
are found for Ga-Bi.
