Extract

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.
