Description

Using X-ray absorption at the Al K-edge at high temperature, structural information was determined on Al2O3, CaAl2O4 (CA), Ca3Al2O6 (C3A) and CaAl2Si2O8 (anorthite) in the crystalline and liquid states (2380 K). Important changes are observed for Al2O3 where all oscillation in the XANES spectra disappear above the liquidus temperature. For the three other compositions some modifications of the XANES spectra can be attributed to changes in the Al coordination
