Solubility and Crystal Growth of ZnAl2,O4 and AI2O3 in Molten PbF2 Solutions
Abstract
The solubility of ZnAl2O4 (gahnite spinel) and NZOI (corundum) in their respective molten PbF2 solutions was determined by a sealed‐tube quenching method between 900° and 1250°C. Differential thermal analysis was used below 900°C. The solubilities (crystal‐constituent/ PbF2 weight ratio) at 1200°C were 0.151 for A12O3 and 0.108 for ZnAl2O4, whereas at 900°C they were 0.093 and 0.048, respectively. These results are compared with those of single‐crystal growth experiments and the crystalline products are described. Copyright © 1964, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
