| Abstract Scope |
We have developed a technique to study atomic and molecular structure of solutions using a combined device with electrostatic levitation and X-ray and Raman scattering. In this study, we levitate a salt solution and achieve extremely high supersaturation by evaporation. This gives a chance to reveal how the solution structure changes and affects phase selection. Here, we study NaCl solution structure and its hydration structure too. We find a dense region where shows chemical ordering, but still topologically disordering. This finding supports two-step nucleation phenomenon which has been predicted by computer simulation studies. We will demonstrate the evolution of solution structure. |
