Linear thermal expansions of eight alkali halides have been determined at liquid oxygen temperatures and at temperatures from 30 °K down to 2 °K. For temperatures T ≤ θ/20, where θ is the Debye temperature, the expansion coefficients are well represented by α = AT 3 + BT 5 . Values are reported for the Grüneisen parameter γ = 3α V/Cx , where C/V is the heat capacity per unit volume and x is the compressibility. For CsBr (b.c.c. structure) γ appears to be nearly independent of temperature, with a value of 2·0 but for the other crystals, which have the rock-salt structure, the parameter γ varies with temperature, chiefly betw een θ/10 and θ/5. At room temperature, γ lies between 1·45 and 1·7 but at low temperature this generally decreases to a value γ 0 which is ca. —0·1 for RbI, +0·3 for KCl, KBr and KI and 1·0 for NaCl and Nal; LiF does not show this decrease, γ 0 being 1·7. The values observed for γ 0 are compared with those calculated from elastic constants and their pressure derivatives and the general behaviour of γ( T ) is observed to conform qualitatively to the predictions of simple theoretical models of Born, Blackman and Barron.

The influence of impurities on the 14N NQR lineshape of Na1-xAgxNO2 and [NaNO2]1-x-[BNO3]x (B = Na, K) at room temperature has been investigated. Carrying out spectral analysis in conjunction with classification of the local field inhomogeneities according to the structurally isomorphic, Na1-xAgxNO2 , and anisomorphic [NaNO2]1-x[BNO3]x systems, enabled an under-standing of the microscopic nature of impurity-induced local disorder. The iso-and anisomorphic systems reveal their own unique features of the impurity induced local disorder. They are charac-terized by a static, random distribution of impurities in the isomorphic system and a fast motion of the impurity-induced mobile point defects in the anisomorphic system. However, for both systems, neither a change of the 14N NQR frequency nor a multisplitting of the lines is observed because of the relatively low symmetry.
