Negative Thermal Expansion Behaviour in The NZP Phase NbTi(PO4)3
Keyword(s):
AbstractWe present new detailed structural data versus temperature on the Nasicon structured material NbTi(PO4)3 obtained from powder neutron diffraction studies. This material shows a significant volume contraction over the range 20°C < T < 700°C. αa varies between –4.34 and -0.11 × 10-6°C-1 and αc between 0.08 and 3.07 × 10-6°C-1 over this range. This behaviour contrasts with the case of NaTi2(PO4)3 (NaTP) which shows a positive volume expansion. The difference in this behaviour can be explained by the presence of filled MI sites in NaTP which are vacant in the case of NbTP.
