The structure of undercooling liquid state is one of the important subjects of materials science. The levitation techniques are powerful tools for the investigation of undercooled liquids. In this research, we developed the electrostatic levitation furnace for the liquid structure analysis due to the neutron and x-ray diffraction methods. The apparatus was tested by using a synchrotron radiation facility, a laboratory X-ray source and a reactor. The structures of several kinds of materials were investigated and the liquid structures can be measured with high precision.
