Calcium pentafluoroaluminate is a compound that contains calcium and aluminum, with fluorine and oxygen as impurities. It is used in the production of optical glasses, semiconductors, and nuclear reactor components. Calcium pentafluoroaluminate reacts with silicon to form calcium silicate and aluminum oxide. This reaction can be monitored by measuring the temperature change of the sample during heating using a thermal expansion gauge. The temperature change can also be measured using a spectrometer or an optical microscope. Calcium pentafluoroaluminate has been shown to have a low activation energy for its reaction with silicon, which makes it an ideal material for this application.
Calcium pentafluoroaluminate has been found to emit neutrons when heated to high temperatures. In order to measure the amount of radiation emitted, neutron-sensitive instruments are used to measure the number of neutrons emitted per second from a sample. When heated, calcium pentafluoro
