Liquidus Temperature of Rare Earth-Alumino-Borosilicate Glasses for Treatment of Americium and Curium
The liquidus temperatures, TL, of rare earth-alumino-borosilicate glasses were measured as a function of glass composition. The TL values ranged from 1153°C to 1405°C. Three primary crystalline phases were identi...
