<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">Can be done and evaporates fairly reliably. It takes very little power to melt. For us it helped to keep the walls of the crucible cold to stop it creeping up the sides and out onto the hearth. Can’t
remember what crucible we used but a TiN coating is probably not a bad idea to try and stop Li interdiffusion. There is various literature which discusses it being an effective barrier to Li. Pyrolytic Boron Nitride is another good alternative.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#1F497D">It also evaporates well from a k-cell at ~500C but eventually it will creep around the end of your crucible and attack heating filaments if you run it too long. PBN crucibles again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
