Title: Thermal expansion of Ba{sub 2}ZnSi{sub 2}O{sub 7}, BaZnSiO{sub 4} and the solid solution series BaZn{sub 2-x}Mg{sub x}Si{sub 2}O{sub 7} (0{<=}x{<=}2) studied by high-temperature X-ray diffraction and dilatometry

Abstract

The thermal expansion behavior of Ba{sub 2}ZnSi{sub 2}O{sub 7}, BaZnSiO{sub 4} and BaZn{sub 2}Si{sub 2}O{sub 7} is characterized by both high-temperature X-ray diffraction (HT-XRD) and dilatometry. Ba{sub 2}ZnSi{sub 2}O{sub 7} and BaZnSiO{sub 4} show a thermal expansion (100-800 Degree-Sign C) in the range from 8.9 to 10.4 Multiplication-Sign 10{sup -6} K{sup -1}. By contrast, BaZn{sub 2}Si{sub 2}O{sub 7} has a much higher thermal expansion in the low-temperature modification and shows a phase transition at 280 Degree-Sign C which runs parallel with a steep increase in cell volume. This phase transition is also observed in the solid solution series BaZn{sub 2-x}Mg{sub x}Si{sub 2}O{sub 7}, but it is shifted to higher temperatures and to a smaller volume change with increasing Mg{sup 2+} concentration. This solid solution series is characterized by dilatometry, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. An adjustment of the MgO/ZnO-ratio enables the preparation of materials with a large variety of thermal expansions. - Graphical abstract: XRD-patterns of Ba{sub 2}ZnSi{sub 2}O{sub 7} were recorded at different temperatures (left). For each XRD-pattern a Rietveld-refinement was performed, the image in the middle shows the XRD-pattern measured at room temperature (circles), the Rietveld calculation (red line) and the difference between them (blue line). Themore » lattice parameters derived hereof were plottet against the temperature and fitted to a polynomial (right picture). From those polynomials the lattice expansion was calculated. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer We examined the thermal expansion of Ba{sub 2}ZnSi{sub 2}O{sub 7}, BaZnSiO{sub 4} and BaZn{sub 2-x}Mg{sub x}Si{sub 2}O{sub 7}. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Thermal expansions were determined by dilatometry and high-temperature X-ray diffraction. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer High-temperature X-ray diffraction enabled to determine anisotropic thermal expansion. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer BaZn{sub 2}Si{sub 2}O{sub 7} exhibits the highest thermal expansion due to a phase transition. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Substitution of small amounts of Zn{sup 2+} for Mg{sup 2+} leads to a decrease in thermal expansion.« less
