High-temperature and melting behaviour of nanocrystalline refractory compounds: an experimental approach applied to thorium dioxide

The behaviour from 1500 K up to melting of nanocrystalline (nc) thorium dioxide, the refractory binary oxide with the highest melting point (3651 K), was explored here for the first time using fast laser heating, multi-wavelength pyrometry and Raman spectroscopy for the analysis of samples quenched...
