High temperature mass spectrometry:: Application to the thermodynamic study of the Fe-Zr system

The high temperature mass spectrometry method is a standard method for the study of chemical equilibria at high temperature. For our studies of complex nuclear materials, the multiple Knudsen cell is the most promising device to perform thermodynamic activity measurements. We illustrate it with some new results obtained about the iron-zirconium system. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
