Abstract
Although great improvements have been performed in containerless exper iments, stable levitation of dense and millimeter sized objects still poses challenges that must be taken up for characterization of materia ls at very high temperature. This paper presents a new analysis cell d eveloped for obtaining in situ structural information by X-ray absorpt ion on samples at very high temperature (up to 2700 K). A gas jet levi tator has been used in combination with a laser heating. The first str uctural analysis were carried out on Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) com pounds above the melting point by using synchrotron radiation faciliti es.
