Description

The crystallographic and dynamic characteristics of TlInSe2 and TlGaTe2 crystals have been studied by X-ray diffraction in the temperature range of 85–320 K. The temperature dependences of the unit-cell parameters a of TlInSe2 and TlGaTe2 crystals, as well as their coefficients of thermal expansion along the [100] direction, are determined. The concentration dependences of the unit-cell parameters a and c for (TlInSe2)1−x(TlGaTe2)x crystals are measured. Anomalies are found in the temperature dependences of the unit-cell parameters a and, correspondingly, the coefficient of thermal expansion, indicating the existence of phase transitions in TlInSe2 and TlGaTe2 crystals.
