Abstract

The temperature variation of the interplanar spacings (101), (112), and (211) of 325 mesh quartz was determined in the range 300–966 °K using X-ray powder diffractometry. The measured lattice parameters have been found to increase nonlinearly with temperature, and the dependence has been expressed by a polynomial of second degree from the least-squares fitting of the data, the results of which are presented herein. Values are given for the thermal expansion coefficients and Gruneisen parameter in the range 300 to 768 °K. In the range 768–966 °K, the expansion is zero. The derivatives a/dT, dαc/dT, and v/dT at ambient temperature are also given.
