Abstract

Using an X-ray diffractonieter cryostat, the lattice constants of the isotopes 20Ne and 22Ne as well as the naturally occurring mixture have been measured throughout most of the temperature range in which they exist as solids (0 to approximately 24°K), The heavier isotope has the smaller lattice constant, the values obtained at 4.2°K being: 20Ne—4.4624 Å, 22Ne—4.4540 Å, and 11Ne—4.4622 Å. The absolute error in these values is believed to be no greater than 0.001 A. The volume expansion coefficient, which does not appear to differ significantly in the three cases, increases to a value of 6.3 × 10−3/°K at 24°K.
