Popis: | KGe{sub 2}(Po{sub 4}){sub 3} has been prepared in both crystalline and vitreous forms. The NZP-type structure of the crystalline variety and its thermal expansion have been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction. The crystal structure has been refined by the Rietveld method in the space group R{bar 3}. The thermal expansion coefficients have been determined between room temperature and 600 C and compared to dilatometry measurements. The parameters a and c have a positive and isotropic behavior and the average macroscopic thermal expansion coefficient, , is 10 {times} 10{sup {minus}6} C{sup {minus}1} at 600 C. A comparison with the thermal expansion of the related Li and Na compounds is reported. |
