A molecular-dynamics calculation of thermodynamic and structural properties is carried out for rapidly quenched Ga liquid metal. It is demonstrated that the experimentally observed splitting of the principal peak in the structure factor into two peaks for both supercooled Ga liquid and amorphous Ga (prepared by vapor deposition onto a cold substrate) is primarily due to the occurrence of those clusters containing 1210 atomic bonded pairs, which are formed in the metastable Ga metal.
