V. Lacassagne et al., AL-27, NA-23, F-19 NMR-STUDY OF CRYOLIFE AT THE SOLID LIQUID TRANSITION/, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 325(2), 1997, pp. 91-98
We present here the first Al-27 Na-23, F-19 NMR results near the liqui
d phase of cryolite, Na3AlF6, recorded with a high temperature laser h
eating system. We developed a sealed and chemically inert crucible to
study this very corrosive and volatile molten salt. Evolution of chemi
cal shift and relaxation time enable us to observe structural and dyna
mic changes at the solid/liquid transition.
