A Novel Design of High-Temperature Molten Salts Structure Analysis System

A system for determining atomic structure and dynamics of salt under certain temperatures as a function of temperature above and below salt melting, contains a quartz tube containing a first end and a second end, and a graphite rod that is located within the quartz tube. The graphite rod contains a hollow center that extends from a top portion of the rod to a location prior to a bottom of the rod, wherein the bottom portion of the rod is enclosed. A sample of salt is located within the hollow center of the graphite rod. A filling material having the characteristics of not reacting to the graphite rod and not changing state with heating of the salt to a melting point of the salt, and wherein the filling material is positioned beneath the graphite rod between the second end of the quartz tube and the bottom of the graphite rod.
