The study on temperature dependent γ-ray attenuation and thermophysical properties of CaO and MgO has been carried out in the temperature range 300 K–1250 K using different energies of γ-beam, namely, Am (0.0595 MeV), Cs (0.66 MeV), and Co (1.173 MeV and 1.332 MeV) on γ-ray densitometer fabricated in our laboratory. The linear attenuation coefficients (μl) for the pellets of CaO and MgO as a function of temperature have been determined using γ-beam of different energies. The coefficients of temperature dependence of density have been reported. The variation of density and linear thermal expansion of CaO and MgO in the temperature range of 300 K–1250 K has been studied and compared with the results available in the literature. The temperature dependence of linear attenuation coefficients, density, and thermal expansion has been represented by second degree polynomial. Volume thermal expansion coefficients have been reported.

The crystal structure and thermal expansion of the perovskite samarium cobalt oxide (SmCoO3) have been determined over the temperature range 295–1245 K by Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction data. Polycrystalline samples were prepared by a sol–gel synthesis route followed by high-temperature calcination in air. SmCoO3 is orthorhombic (Pnma) at all temperatures and is isostructural with GdFeO3. The structure was refined as a distortion mode of a parent $ Pm{\bar 3}m $ structure. The thermal expansion was found to be non-linear and anisotropic, with maximum average linear thermal expansion coefficients of 34.0(3) × 10−6, 24.05(17) × 10−6, and 24.10(18) × 10−6 K−1 along the a-, b-, and c-axes, respectively, between 814 and 875 K.

Low thermal expansion ceramics have been widely applied in multiple fields. In this paper, a series of low thermal expansion ceramics SrZr4-xTix(PO4)6 was prepared and characterized. The SrZr4-xTix(PO4)6 ceramics could be well sintered in the temperature range of 1400~1500 °C. The effect of the addition of Ti substituting Zr and the sintering temperature was studied. The Ceramic with x =0.1 sintered at 1450 °C, the SrZr4-xTix(PO4)6 had a high relative density. The thermal expansion coefficients were about 3.301×10-6 °C-1. It was demonstrated that the microstructure of the SrZr4-xTix(PO4)6 could be altered by adding varying amount of Ti to tailor the thermophysical properties of the material.

Compounds Yb2Mo3O12 and Lu2Mo3O12 were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. Their crystal structures and thermal expansion properties were investigated. It was found that Yb2Mo3O12 and Lu2Mo3O12 adopt orthorhombic structure and show negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the temperature range of 200-800 °C. Their a-axis and c-axis exhibit stronger contraction in the temperature range of 200-800 °C, while b-axis slightly expands in the temperature range of 200-300 °C and then contracts in the temperature range of 300-800 °C. The linear thermal expansion coefficients al of Yb2Mo3O12 and Lu2Mo3O12 are −5.17 × 10−6 °C−1 and −5.67 × 10−6 °C−1, respectively.

The linear thermal expansion coefficients αψ of two single crystals of Zn of orientations ψ = 10.8° and 63.9 ° with the hexad axis were measured over the temperature range of about 20–270 °K using an absolute Fizeau optical interference technique. The two principal coefficients, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], corresponding to ψ = 0° and 90 ° respectively, were calculated from the Voigt relation, and their values are compared with previously reported experimental data. Above 60 °K there is good agreement with previous work, and below 60 °K the results confirm, in general, the data obtained by McCammon and White. The Grüneisen parameter γ is essentially constant at about 2.1 in the range 100–270 °K, but below 100 °K γ rises appreciably with decreasing temperature and reaches the value of about 3.5 at 20 °K.

The temperature dependence of the lattice constants of Al x Ga1 − x As/GaAs superlattices MBE-grown on (001) oriented GaAs substrates was determined by X-ray diffractometry. The thermal expansion coefficients of these materials become negative at low temperatures, like that of GaAs and other tetrahedrally bonded covalent solids. The temperature dependence of the stress in these structures was also studied; although its value increases as temperature decreases, strain remains elastic down to 5 K.

ABSTRACTThis paper analyses the influence of the sapphire substrate on stress in GaN epilayers in the temperature range between 4K and 600K. Removal of the substrate by a laser assisted liftoff technique allows, for the first time, to distinguish between stress and other material specific temperature dependencies. In contrast to the prevailing assumption in the literature, that the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients is the main cause for stress it is found that the substrate has a rather small influence in the examined temperature range. The measured temperature dependence of stress is in contradiction to the published values for the thermal expansion coefficients for sapphire and GaN.

The temperature dependences of the lattice constants of single crystals of the rare-earth hexaborides EuB6and GdB6were determined by analysing the low-temperature X-ray patterns. The lattice constant decreases monotonously with decreasing temperature. The linear thermal expansion coefficients for the two compounds were also obtained by analysing the temperature dependence of the lattice constants.

A new method is used in measuring the linear thermal expansion coefficients in composite consisting of a substrate Gd3Ga2Ga3O12 (GGG) and its epitaxial layer Y3Fe2Fe3O12 (YIG) within the temperature range 13.88 °C–32.50 °C. The results show that the thermal expansion coefficient of GGG in composite is larger than that of the GGG in single crystal; the thermal expansion coefficient of thick film YIG is also larger than that of thin film. The results also show that the thermal expansion coefficient of a composite consisting of film and its substrate can be measured by using a new method.
