While the structure of the S-I collapsed at 1123 K forming alpha-cristobalite. S-1 and ZrS-1 showed a complex thermal expansion behavior in the temperature range 298-1023 K, ZrS-1 was stable. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data taken in this region have shown strong negative lattice thermal expansion coefficient, alpha(v) = -6.75 x 10(-6) and - 17.92 x 10(-6) K-1 in the temperature range 298-1023 K-1 for S-1 and ZrS-1 samples, respectively. The thermal expansion behavior of S-1 and ZrS-1 is anisotropic, with the relative strength of contraction along a axis is more than that along b and c axes. Three different thermal expansion regions could be identified in the overall temperature range (298-1023 K) studied, corroborating with the three steps of weight loss in the TG curve of ZrS-1 sample. While the region between 298 and 423 K, displays positive thermal expansion coefficient with alpha(v) = 2.647 x 10(-6) and 4.24 x 10(-6) K-1, the second region between 423 and 873 K shows strong negative thermal expansion (NTE) coefficient alpha(v) = -7.602 x 10(-6) and - 15.04 x 10(-6) K-1, respectively, for S-1 and ZrS-1 samples. The region between 873 and 1023 K, shows a very strong NTE coefficient with alpha(v) = - 12.08 x 10(-6) and -45.622 x 10(-6) K-1 for S-1 and ZrS-1, respectively, which is the highest in the whole temperature range studied. NTE seen over a temperature range 298-1023 K could be associated with transverse vibrations of bridging oxygen atoms in the structure which results in an apparent shortening of the Si-O distances.

Isomorphous substitution of Si4+ by metal atoms is confirmed by the expansion of unit cell volume by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the presence of Si-O-M stretching band at similar to 960 cm(-1) by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Appearance of cristobalite phase is seen at 1023 and 1173 K in S-1 and FeS-1 samples. While the samples S-1 and FeS-1 decompose completely to cristobalite at 1173 and 1323 K, respectively, the other two samples are thermally stable upto 1623 K. This transformation is irreversible. Although all materials show a negative lattice thermal expansion, their lattice thermal expansion coefficients vary. The thermal expansion behavior in all samples is anisotropic with relative strength of contraction along `a' axes is more than along `b' and V axes in S- 1, TS-1, ZrS-1 and vice versa in FeS-1. Lattice thermal expansion coefficients (alpha(v)) in the temperature range 298-1023 K were -6.75 x 10(-6) K-1 for S-1, -12.91 x 10(-6) K-1 for FeS-1, -16.02 x 10(-6) K-1 for TS-1 and -17.92 x 10(-6) K-1 for ZrS-1. The highest lattice thermal expansion coefficients (alpha(v)) obtained were -11.53 x 10(-6) K-1 for FeS-1 in temperature range 298-1173 K, -20.86 x 10(-6) K-1 for TS-1 and -25.54 x 10(-6) K-1 for ZrS-1, respectively, in the temperature range 298-1623 K. Tetravalent cation substitution for Si4+ in the lattice leads to a high thermal stability as compared to substitution by trivalent cations. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
