AbstractHigh-resolution, neutron time-of-flight, powder diffraction data have been collected on natural crocoite between 873 and 1073 K. Thermal analysis carried out in the 1920s had suggested that chemically pure PbCrO4 exhibited two structural phase transitions, at 964 K, to the β phase, and at 1056 K, to the γ phase. In this study, no evidence was found for the α-β structural phase transition, however a high-temperature phase transition was found at ∼1068 K from the ambient-temperature monazite structure type to the baryte structure type. The phase transition, close to the temperatures reported for the β to γ phase modifications, is first order and is accompanied by a change in volume of −1.6%. The crystal structure of this phase has been refined using the Rietveld method to agreement factors of Rp = 0.018, Rwp = 0.019, Rp = 0.011. No evidence for premonitory behaviour was found in the temperature dependence of the monoclinic lattice constants rom 873 K to 1063 K and these have been used to determine the thermal expansion tensor of crocoite just below the phase transition. At 1000 K the magnitudes of the tensor coefficients are α11, 2.66(1) × 10−5 K−1; α22, 2.04(1) × 10−5 K−1; α33, 4.67(4) × 10−5 K−1; and α13, −1.80(2) × 10−5 K−1 using the IRE convention for the orientation of the tensor basis. The orientation of the principal axes of the thermal expansion tensor are very close to those reported previously for the temperature range 50–300 K.

Thermal expansion of (Sr1−x , K2x )Zr4(PO4)6 (SrKZP) (with x = 0–1) ceramic was investigated using both a dilatometer and a high-temperature X-ray diffractometer. The coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) of the SrKZP ceramic measured by the dilatometer demonstrate a similar trend as those from high-temperature X-ray diffraction. Both measurements show an ultra-low CTE at x = 0.5; nevertheless, this composition shows significant lattice thermal-expansion anisotropy (TEA), while the minimum TEA appears with composition x = 0.2. Although it possessed a sufficient degree of TEA, the x = 0.5 composition showed no visible microcracks or negligible microcracks over a grain size as large as 15 μm. A transition of space group from R{\bar 3} to R{\bar 3}c with composition between x = 0.3 and x = 0.5 has been observed. The crystal structure of the SrKZP ceramic with possible occupations of strontium and/or potassium within the lattice in relation to their influence on the CTEs is proposed.

<p>New phosphates MNi<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>1.5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> (M = Mg, Ca, Sr) were prepared by the precipitating method.<strong><em> </em></strong>Phosphates were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, IR-spectroscopy and electron microprobe analyses. The crystal structure of phosphates was refined by the Rietveld method. Phosphates CaNi<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>1.5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> and SrNi<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>1.5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> are shown to have been crystallized in the NaZr<sub>2</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>-type structure and the phosphate MgNi<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>1.5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3 </sub>was obtained as a single-phase with Sc<sub>2</sub>(WO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>-type structure. Heat capacity of phosphate CaNi<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>1.5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> was measured in the range 7 – 650 K and increased monotonically over the entire temperature range studied. Thermal expansion of phosphate CaNi<sub>0.5</sub>Zr<sub>1.5</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub> was studied in the interval 295-1073 K by the high temperature X-ray diffraction. This phosphate is similar to the best low-expansion ceramics, such as zircon, cordierite and silica glass in thermal expansion behavior.</p>

Abstract The low-temperature polymorph β-Ca11B2Si4O22 crystallizes as a monoclinic structure [space group is P21/c, a=14.059(9), b=6.834(5), c=10.597(7) Å, β=100.735(8)°]. The crystal investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction was a twin composed of six individuals. The crystal structure is similar to that of mineral spurrite, Ca5(SiO4)2CO3, and can be described as a framework of [CaO5] and [CaO6] polyhedra, the cavities of which are filled with [SiO4] and [BO3] groups. The orientation relationship of twin domains was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Thermal expansion was studied by high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction. It is slightly anisotropic: α11=10, α22=16, α33=12×10−6°C−1 at 200°C.

A crystallographic study of the system Ni2+ 1−2x Ni3+ x Li+ x O has been carried out. The crystal structure of the material in the range 0≤x≤0.4 at room temperature and up to 1000°C has been studied. The principal coefficients of thermal expansion and the phase diagram are given. The structural rhombohedral → face-centred cubic transition temperature of NiO has been determined.
