Abstract

An anomaly of the temperature dependence of the unit cell parameter has been observed for β–PbF2 single crystals at 200 K that is interpreted as a phase transition to a pseudocubic lattice. Such a pseudocubic phase is observable at room temperature after uniaxial plastic deformation of the bulk single crystals. The structural aspects of the β→α transition have been established. The as-grown crystals of α–PbF2 phase are shown to undergo a phase transition at 100 K.
