“…Amorphous alumina, unlike crystalline polymorphs, has a disordered, noncrystalline structure, and exhibits some attractive properties, such as high dielectric constant (Segda et al, 2001;Momida et al, 2006Momida et al, , 2007b, low band gap energy (Jennison et al, 2004;Adiga et al, 2006;Novikov et al, 2009;Lizárraga et al, 2011), and excellent mechanical and optical properties (Nayar et al, 2014;Paz et al, 2014;Orosco and Coimbra, 2018). Benefiting from these remarkable properties, amorphous alumina has been successfully used as insulators (Rashkeev et al, 2003;Katiyar et al, 2005;Avis and Jang, 2011), corrosion protection (Boisier et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2015;Daubert et al, 2017), capacitors (Blonkowski, 2007;Fukuhara et al, 2021), and catalysis (Yoon and Cocke, 1986;Nagaraju et al, 2002). Meanwhile, molten alumina has also attracted a lot of attention because of its utilization in producing large sapphire single crystals (Will et al, 1992;Golubović et al, 2001;Farr et al, 2013) and in the analysis of the behavior of aluminum-fueled rocket engine effluent (Jani et al, 2013;Skinner et al, 2013).…”
