Popis: The lattice parameters of anorthites An98Ab2 and An100 have been measured from 22 to 1100 K. The spontaneous strain arising from the $$I\overline 1 - P\overline 1$$ displacive transition in An98 follows second order Landau behaviour. The spontaneous strain (ɛ s) couples quadratically to the order parameter (Q 0) with ɛ s∝Q 02∝(T c * −T) and T c * =530 K in An98. This is in contrast to the tricritical behaviour observed in pure anorthite. These observations are consistent with a Landau model for the free energy of Ca-rich plagioclases in which Al/Si order and Na content renormalize the fourth order coefficient.
