[en] Volumetric thermal expansion coefficient (VTEC) was studied in glasses and melts of (TeI)_1-x (T₂I)_x system in the range 293-773 K. During heating to glass transition temperature VTEC of all studied glasses don't depend on temperature. VTEC for melts don't depend on temperature. This points to more high rigidity of structure as compared with Te-Cl and Te-Br systems. More significant rigidity of structure in studied system is conditioned by strengthening of intermolecular interaction increasing density of chain cross-linking. VTEC of glasses in given system are close to corresponding values of chain polymers
