Flux growth synthesis is an advantageous synthetic method as it allows for the growth of single crystals of both congruently melting and metastable phases. The determination of synthetic parameters for the flux growth of new crystalline phases is complex as many factors and parameters need to be considered, such as the purity and morphology of the starting material and heating profile variables including maximum temperature, dwell time, cooling rate, and flux removal temperature. In situ monitoring of crystallite growth can lead to elucidation of reaction intermediates and growth mechanisms. The determination of pivotal reaction parameters can revolutionize the way growth parameters are selected. Herein, we report a new sample environment and furnace apparatus for synchrotron in situ synthesis of crystalline materials, including flux grown intermetallics.

在惰性环境中原位合成金属助焊剂的方法

助熔剂生长合成是一种有利的合成方法，因为它允许生长一致熔化相和亚稳相的单晶。确定新晶相助熔剂生长的合成参数很复杂，因为需要考虑许多因素和参数，例如起始材料的纯度和形态以及加热曲线变量，包括最高温度、停留时间、冷却速率和助焊剂去除温度。微晶生长的原位监测可以导致对反应中间体和生长机制的阐明。关键反应参数的确定可以彻底改变生长参数的选择方式。在此，我们报告了一种用于同步加速器原位合成晶体材料的新样品环境和炉装置，
