AbstractThe thermal expansion behavior of pure, Ge-doped and Li-doped hexagonal cordierites with respective compositions: 2MgO 2Al2O3 5Si02 2Mg0 2Al2O3 4Si02 Ge02) and 2MgO (2+x)AL203 (5-2x)Si02 xLi20 with x = .174, was investigated using time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction at temperatures from 22 to 750°C in vacuum. The data were refined in space group P6/mcc using the Rietveld method. The lattice thermal expansion curves of all 3 samples were quite similar. The negative axis expansion is associated with (1)displacement of the T2 cations generally toward the axis channels and (2) changes in the distortion of the coupled T1/M tetrahedra/octahedra in the structure. Both contributions were present in all 3 samples but the first was more dominant in the Ge doped sample. The nature and origin of the distortions in T1 and M are discussed.

The hexagonal cordierite was synthesized by the reverse coprecipitation-calcination method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The lattice thermal expansion behavior of hexagonal cordierite was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction in the temperature range 298-1273 K. The lattice parameters of the hexagonal cordierite at different temperature were calculated by a least squares method. The hexagonal cordierite expressed anisotropic thermal expansion behavior with the average lattice thermal expansion coefficient were 2.13×10-6 K-1 along a or b axis and-1.03×10-6 K-1 along c axis from room temperature to 1273 K. The crystal structure of hexagonal cordierite at 298 K and 1273 K were refined by Rietveld method. The thermal expansion coefficient of the height of the [MgO6]-[AlO4] polyhedral layer is-1.8×10-6 K-1. Although the six-member ring expressed the normal positive thermal expansion along arbitrary direction, the height thermal expansion coefficient of the six-member ring is just 0.6×10-6 K-1.

In this work, Mn3PtN[Formula: see text] (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) compounds were prepared by solid state reaction method. The structure, magnetic properties and thermal expansion behaviors of Mn3PtN[Formula: see text] compounds with different nitrogen content were systematically investigated. Mn3PtN has typical antiperovskite cubic structure with space group Pm-3m (221). With decreasing nitrogen content, the crystal structure changes to hexagonal with space group P63/mmc when the value of x decreases to x = 0.25, and then back to cubic with Fm3m at x = 0. All of the obtained Mn3PtN[Formula: see text] compound exhibit the magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM). Moreover, another transition from AFM1 to AFM2 at lower temperature was also observed in Mn3Pt. The experimental results indicate that the magnetic transition induced abnormal thermal expansion behavior in Mn3PtN[Formula: see text]. Especially, a typical giant thermal expansion behavior of about [Formula: see text]8‰ volume change arising from the magneto-volume effect at 411 K is observed in Mn3Pt compound. The obtained results imply that this kind of compounds is a strong lattice–spin correlation system.

The structure of the ζ-phase in the Pu—U system has been determined by neutron powder diffraction. The phase crystallizes in space group R{\bar 3}m with 58 atoms in the primitive unit cell and 10 atoms in the asymmetric unit. The structure is characterized by many short bonds and fits the general pattern of the light actinides. Thermal expansion and elastic data were obtained from the diffraction experiments.

Time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction data have been collected from C6H6 and C6D6 between 10 and 276 K, revealing no cross-over in their molar volumes and an almost temperature invariant volume-isotope-effect, in contrast with previously published work.
