Dear All
We have an Anton Paar HTK16 furnace with a Pt strip. I am
hoping to calibrate it both thermally and mechanically (height shift)
using either alpha alumina or ceria so as to better identify HT
phases. Have any of you experience of this, or better suggestions for
calibrants? My only serious worry is whether there is any potential
for ceria to react with, the Pt strip?
(Perhaps under vacuum?) I'd welcome any advice or suggestions.
Yours
Rory
