The self-correlation function for the motion of an atom in a liquid was constructed in a manner which simulates the behavior of this function between the two extreme cases, viz., that in a solid and that in a simple diffusive model. Using this function, the differential scattering cross section for cold neutrons was calculated for liquid lead and compared with available experimental results. It appears that even in a simple liquid like lead the solidlike behavior of atomic motions persists for a considerable time. (auth)
