X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurement of molten DyCl and mixture with LiCl-KCl eutectic were performed by using Dy K-absorption edge. The local structures of solid and molten DyCl and molten 5%DyCl-(LiCl-KCl eutectic) were almost the same except fluctuation factors such as the Debye-Waller factor. It can be estimated that Dy ion generated from the disproportional reaction between Dy ion and Dy metal is partially dissolved in the mixture melt.
