In this paper, the temperature dependence of the hexagonal lattice parameter c of single crystal LaCoO3 (LCO) with H = 0 and 800 Oe, as well as LCO bulk powders with H = 0, was measured using high-resolution x-ray scattering near the transition temperature To ≈ 35 K. The change of c(T ) is well characterized by a power law in T – To for T > To and by a temperature independent constant for T < To when convoluted with a Gaussian function of width 8.5 K. Finally, this behavior is discussed in the context of the unusual magnetic behavior observed in LCO as well as recent generalized gradient approximation calculations.
