[en] Monte Carlo simulations based on a semi empirical tight binding model including dispersion forces were performed to study liquid selenium at temperatures between 600 and 2000 K. The atomic structures obtained are in agreement with the X-ray scattering and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data in a range of temperatures and densities. A correlation between the conductivity of high temperature fluid selenium and the degree of branching and breaking of the selenium chains is observed
