abstract = "The thermodynamic and structural aspects of the polyamorphic transition in yttrium and other rare earth aluminate liquids were analyzed. This transition was seen as the nucleation and growth of a low density phase in a matrix of a higher density liquid when Y2O3-Al2O3 liquids were cooled below the liquidus. A combination of DSC and solution calorimetry was used to evaluate the energetic differences between the two liquid phases of yttrium-aluminates.",

note = "Funding Information: Samples were prepared and characterized in the Goldwater Materials Science Laboratories of the Center for Solid State Science at Arizona State University, with support from the NSF-DMR-9802956 to PFM. Heat capacity and heat of solution measurements were made at the University of California at Davis, Thermochemistry Facility (Prof. A. Navrotsky), supported in part by the Center for High Pressure Research (CHiPR), an NSF Science and Technology Center. The ASU chemistry Nuclear Magnetic Resonance facility is supported by National Science Foundation (NSF) grant CHE-9808678. Neutron scattering experiments were carried out at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, Argonne National Laboratory (operated under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy, Basic Energy Sciences under contract number W-31-109-ENG38). We are grateful to Chris Benmore at IPNS for useful discussions and use of Fig. 6b and also Jacob Urquidi and Joan Siewenie who together with Chris Benmore helped with analysis of the X-ray data. X-ray diffraction measurements were performed at the Advanced Photon Source. Use of the Advanced Photon Source was supported by the U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. W-31-109-Eng-38. PFM is a Wolfson-Royal Society Research Merit award holder.",
