Research to study relations between thermophysical properties and atomic structure on high temperature melt have been conducted using electrostatic levitation furnaces combined with high energy light sources.
【 Electrostatic levitator (ESL) 】+【 X ray 】
Since 2004, levitation experiments using an electrostatic levitator have been conducted in Spring-8.
Beam line “BL04B02” has been mainly used for the development of experiment system. ( p1 / 8 )
100 W CO2 was carried from Tsukuba and temporarily installed in the beam line. Currently, a heating laser provided by Spring-8 is available. ( p2 / 8 )
A electrostatic levitator (vacuum chamber) installed in the beam line ( p3 / 8 )
The electrostatic levitator is disassembled for maintenance. ( p4 / 8 )
Experiment setup is completed ( ESL Chamber and X-ray detector) ( p5 / 8 )
Experiment setup is completed. ( p6 / 8 )
Experiment setup is completed. ( p7 / 8 )
During levitation experiment, a levitated sample is monitored by a camera. ( p8 / 8 )
【 ESL 】+【neutron】
Around JFY 2000 to 2002, An ESL was combined with a neutron source at JRR-3M (JAEA: Japan Atomic Energy Agency)
