Abstract
The density and thermal expansion of alumina (99.99%) were studied in the liquid and solid states in the region of crystallization and melti ng by irradiating the samples with a narrow beam of gamma quanta. The temperature dependence of the density of strongly supercooled (by 220 K) alumina and the specific volume change on crystallization were dete rmined. The results are compared with the data available in the litera ture.
