Abstract
Time-of-flight Neutron Diffraction was used to obtain diffraction patterns for GS-44 silicon nitride from 20 °C to 1500 °C. These patterns were refined using the Rietveld analysis method. Lattice parameters obtained as a function of temperature from refined diffraction data allowed determination of temperature-dependent thermal expansion coefficients for silicon nitride over this temperature range.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Thermophysics serves as an international medium for the publication of papers in thermophysics, assisting both generators and users of thermophysical properties data. This distinguished journal publishes both experimental and theoretical papers on thermophysical properties of matter in the liquid, gaseous, and solid states (including soft matter, biofluids, and nano- and bio-materials), on instrumentation and techniques leading to their measurement, and on computer studies of model and related systems. Studies in all ranges of temperature, pressure, wavelength, and other relevant variables are included.
