Title Structural Studies of Liquids and Glasses Using Aerodynamic Levitation Author(s) Farmer, Thomas Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2015. Description XIV, 113 p. 54 illus., 30 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This thesis presents neutron scattering data that contribute to the understanding of four distinct areas of condensed matter physics, including iso-compositional liquid-liquid phase transitions and the glass formation in rare earth doped BaTi2O5. In situ aerodynamic levitation with laser heating was combined with neutron scattering in order to study both liquid-liquid phase transitions in (Y2O3)x(Al2O3)1-x, and the atomic and magnetic ordering in liquid Invar.??Among several significant results, obtained in this case from small angle neutron scattering, was??the absence of a phase transition across a range of temperatures and compositions in the yttria aluminates.?? As these are a principal system in which liquid-liquid phase transitions have been hypothesized, this is an important contribution in a contentious area ISBN,Price 9783319065755 Keyword(s) 1.
