Growth, structure, and thermal expansion anisotropy of FeIn2Se4 single crystals

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Single crystals of the ternary compound FeIn2Se4 have been grown by directional solidification in a vertical Bridgman geometry, and their composition, structure, and melting point have been determined. The relative length change of FeIn2Se4 has been measured on a dilatometer using oriented single-crystal samples, and its thermal expansion coefficients have been determined. The thermal expansion of FeIn2Se4 is shown to be markedly anisotropic.
