Abstract

The thermal expansion of sodium β-and Β′'-alumina in thea andc directions has been determined by high temperature X-ray diffractometry using polycrystalline samples. The measured values show that internal stresses as a result of anisotropy in the thermal expansion of the two phases should have little adverse effect on the application of beta-alumina in electrochemical devices.
