Notes:
The density of neodymium-doped calcium aluminate (〈1 mol% Nd2O3·50% CaO·50% Al2O3) liquid was measured over a wide temperature range using an electrostatic levitation furnace. The density was obtained using an UV-based imaging technique that allowed excellent illumination throughout all phases of processing, including elevated temperatures. Over the 1560–2000 K temperature range, the density could be expressed as ρ(T) = 2.83 × 103– 0.21(T–Tm) (kg·m−3) (±2%) with Tm= 1878 K, which yielded a volume coefficient of thermal expansion α(T) = 7.5 × 10−5 K−1.
