摘要
Density of gadolinium oxide in its liquid phase was measured using a containerless technique under microgravity environment in the International Space Station (ISS). An electrostatically levitated sample was melted using high power semiconductor lasers. Pictures of a molten spherical sample were analyzed and corresponding volumes were obtained as a function of temperature. After weighing the returned sample mass, the density of the Gd2O3 was found to be 7240 kg/m(3) at its melting temperature (T-m = 2693 K).
