Dilatometry, high-temperature x-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorirmetry have been performed on LaGaO3, NdGaO3, PrGaO3, SmAlO3, and LaAlO3 single crystals grown by the Czochralski technique. First order phase transitions have been located at 145°C for LaGaO3 and 785°C for SmAlO3, and ΔH has been measured for the LaGaO3 transition. Second order transitions have been identified for LaGaO3, PrGaO3, NdGaO3, and LaAlO3. The usefulness of these compounds as substrates for high temperature superconducting films is discussed in terms of thermal expansion matching.

A first-order phase transition with a peculiar feature is evidenced by means of in situ grazing incidence X-ray diffraction in the 2D organic phase-mediated nucleation of an inorganic layer.

Thermal expansion is an interesting, ubiquitous and neglected property of materials. Recently, Lenain et al. (1985) and Limaye (1986) have been investigating anisotropy in the low-expansion structures of the sodium zirconium phosphate family. In the hexagonal structure one axis expands while another contracts. In going from the calcium to the strontium analog the anisotropy actually changes sign. A change in anisotropy between CrB2 and TiB2 had been observed by R.V. Sara (1960). The results in Fig. 1 obtained by high temperature x-ray diffraction measurements indicate that for TiB2 the thermal expansion of the c-axis is greater than the expansion of the a-axis, whereas for CrB2 the reverse is true.

The Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se and Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se compounds have been synthesized and grown as single crystals. High-temperature X-ray diffraction method was used to study polymorphic transformations. It is shown that the Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se crystals of high-temperature FCC modification are decomposed into Ag2Se and AgCuSe when the temperature decreases below T = 488 K and Ag[Formula: see text]Cu[Formula: see text]Se is decomposed into Cu2Se and AgCuSe when the temperature decreases below T = 540 K. Transformations in both compounds are reversible. Crystalline parameters are obtained and the temperature dependence of the lattice parameters for each phase is built.
