Alkali halide materials are ionic crystals with the chemical formula MX, where M is an alkali metal (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and X is a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I). They can form solid solutions by substitution between the alkali metals, the halogens or both [1]. Solid solutions are widely studied with the aim to understand the phase selection during solidification. The objective of the present work is to determine the phases present in the final microstructure of a crystalline material obtained from the melt of various alkali halide salts.
