Our previous proposals on ceramic glazes were rejected due to the high number of chemical components listed in the proposed (industrially typical) samples. Unfortunately the problem of industrial glaze optimization will not be solved if we simply adopt an -its too difficult- approach. To simplify the problem, we request 3-days of Director¿s discretionary beamtime at SANDALS, to perform a feasibility study on the simplest practical glaze formulation (with only Ca, Al, Si and O). These measurements will be used to benchmark our current analytical capabilities for multicomponent glass systems, and will allow us to establish multi-probe analytical protocols using X-ray spectroscopy and diffraction to complement the neutron scattering results. If successful the results will demonstrate that advances in glass characterisation can mirror those recently demonstrated for multicomponent liquids.
