Accurate crystal structure analysis at high temperatures is an important challenge in science and technology. A new electric furnace for the measurement of high-resolution (δd/d= 0.03%) synchrotron radiation powder diffraction profiles from materials at high temperatures (up to 1900 K in air) has been designed and fabricated. This furnace consists of a ceramic refractory with MoSi2heaters, an aluminium body cooled by flowing water, and a sample stage with a spinner and a controller for sample-height adjustment.In situsynchrotron powder diffraction measurement for a calcium titanate perovskite specimen at 1674 K has been performed using the furnace at beamline 3A of the Photon Factory. The electron density distribution of the cubic perovskite at 1674 K was successfully obtained using a combination of Rietveld refinement, the maximum-entropy method (MEM) and MEM-based pattern-fitting techniques. The Ti atoms exhibit covalent bonding with the O atoms in the cubic CaTiO3perovskite at this temperature, while the Ca atoms are ionic. These results indicate that the new furnace yields high-quality data for accurate crystal structure analysis.
