A concentration cell for the determination of the oxygen ion concentration by means of e. m. f. measurements is described which is suitable for oxidic melts with low viscosity and high attack on ceramic materials. Applying this concentration cell binary mixtures of oxides and fluorides used as solvents for the garnet preparation were investigated. The oxygen ion concentration is given in dependence on the composition of the mixtures. By comparison with simple models conclusions on the structure of the melt are made.
