Neutron scattering measurements of the local order in 
mixtures were performed. Partial contributions to the first
coordination shell were obtained by suitable modeling of the structure
factors. Rapid changes in the local atomic environment are shown to be
responsible for the closed-loop miscibility gap that occurs around
x=0.4 at high temperature.
