Title

Acoustic levitation apparatus for neutron investigations on liquids with low melting point.

Abstract

The sample environment is a critical component of research programs in advanced materials, geological systems, biology, and energy-related research and development. At high temperatures, various limitations are due to reactions with crucibles. At lower temperatures, heterogeneous nucleation by containers limits the ability to supercool liquids below their equilibrium melting point or to avoid crystallization in supersaturated solutions. In the past, various contactless techniques have been developed to overcome these problems. The objective of the present work is to optimize a new tool for neutron investigations of liquids at temperatures between -40 and +40 °C. This temperature range covers the liquid and supercooled state of water and many salt and biological solutions that are important in oceanic and biological processes, as well as in many industrial applications
