MELTING TEMPERATURE DETERMINATION BY TRACK FORMATION TECHNIQUE USING CO₂ LASER

摘要

Determination of melting temperature by spectroradiometric technique, aided by visual observation of onset of melting by track formation method employing an infrared CO₂ laser, was carried out. Melting temperatures of SrTiO₃ and MgO single crystals and silicon wafer samples obtained by this novel technique are reported. Melting temperatures obtained by this method are within 2% of the reported standard values. These values are used to validate temperature measurements carried out in laser heated diamond anvil cell experiments.View full textDownload full textKeywordsdiamond anvil cell, high pressure, laser heating, melting temperature, track formationRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10739149.2011.623208
