Abstract
We present here a new high temperature cell developed for in-situ stru ctural experiments, in contactless conditions, by X-ray absorption on solids or liquid samples. The aerodynamic levitated sample is heated w ith a CO6 laser, allowing us to reach temperatures higher than 2 000 d egrees C. EXAFS spectra at the K edges of Y and Ga in solid Y3Ga5O12 ( 1 700 degrees C just below the melting point) and in liquid Y3Al5O12 ( melting point 1 950 degrees C) up to 2 100 degrees C garnets are prese nted and discussed. The (Y-O) and (Ga-O) distances increase with the t emperature. At the Y3Al5O12 solid/liquid transition, the mean coordina tion number of Y decreases from 8 to 7.4.
