Structure and dynamics in yttrium-based molten rare earth alkali fluorides
Structure and dynamics in yttrium-based molten rare earth alkali fluorides
The transport properties of molten LiF-YF3 mixtures have been studied by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, potentiometric experiments, and molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated diffusion coefficients and electric conductivities compare very well with the measurements across a wide composition range. We then extract static (radial distribution functions, coordination …
