Description
Viviana Cristiglio and colleagues measured the liquid structure of magnesium aluminates. Their 2024 paper studies refractory materials used in glass technology. These materials form from very hot molten phases. Measuring liquids at such heat is hard, so data are scarce. The team levitated samples without contact to reach the needed temperatures.
A carbon dioxide laser heated the floating samples. X-ray and neutron diffraction probed three melt compositions. Structure factors and pair distribution functions were derived. Local order looked similar across all compositions tested. Aluminum-oxygen coordination averaged about four neighbors. The results fill a gap in high-temperature materials data. Glass and ceramic makers rely on such melt knowledge.
