The axial thermal‐expansion coefficients of β‐eucryptite have been measured and correlated with the volume expansion of an aggregate measured dilatometrically. A mechanical analogy to the structure of β‐eucryptite is suggested which may explain the pronounced thermal contraction in the c direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
