Influence of cation species on thermal expansion of Y 2 Si 2 O 7 –Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 solid solutions

Mixtures of Y 2 Si 2 O 7 and Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 were synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1600°C and characterized via in situ x-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine their coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). All solid solutions within the system exhibited the orthorhombic δ-RE 2 Si 2 O 7 (Pna2 1 ) structure. Thermal expansion measurements of Y 2 Si 2 O 7 and Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 correlated well with reported values in literature, and all synthesized solid solutions exhibited CTEs between Y 2 Si 2 O 7 and Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 . Generally, there was a slight decrease in CTE exhibited by the materials with increasing Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 content, with Gd 2 Si 2 O 7 having the lowest CTEs and Y 2 Si 2 O 7 the highest CTEs. Here, the decrease in CTE was attributed to stronger bonds of Gd-O over Y-O, as determined by calculated crystal orbital Hamilton populations using density functional theory. However, such differences were very small and crystal structure was the dominating factor in CTE trends.
