Volume Changes Accompanying the Melt-Crystal Transition in Binary Borate Melts
The volume changes accompanying the crystallization of PbB(,4)O(,7), BaB(,4)O(,7), Li(,2)B(,4)O(,7), Cs(,2)B(,6)O(,10) and Na(,2)B(,8)O(,13) were determined throughout the crystal growth range. The elevated temperature specific volumes of the crystals were calculated using x-ray unit cell densities and volume thermal expansion coefficients obtained by high-temperature x-ray diffraction analysis. Melt specific volumes had been previously determined.
