Abstract

The coefficients of thermal expansion and the complete set of elastic stiffness coefficients of monoclinic Bi4B2O9 were determined as functions of temperature employing dilatometry and, respectively, a combination of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy and the plate resonance technique. Thermal expansion as well as elasticity of Bi4B2O9 exhibit a pronounced anisotropy, with the directions of the maximum longitudinal elastic stiffness and of the minimal longitudinal thermal expansion running almost parallel to [(1) over bar 02]. Further, between 100 K and 535 K the principal axes system of the linear thermal expansion rotates by more than 30 degrees around the 2-fold symmetry axis. The deviations from Cauchy-relations show a similar behavior. Both, the anisotropy and the temperature induced changes of the investigated properties are mainly controlled by the stereochemically active Bi 6s(2) lone electron pairs. At room temperature their Wang-Liebau vectors possess preferred components within a plane that runs almost perpendicular to [(1) over bar 02]. A systematic analysis of the elastic behavior of bismuth oxides using the quasi-additivity rule for elastic S-factor reveals a general trend: With decreasing relative amount of Bi2O3 the Bi3+ cations tend to align their stereochemically active lone electron pairs in planes or eventually in one direction. With respect to the elastic behavior of the compound the alignment of the easliy deformable lone electron pairs is unfavorable and causes an elastic softening.
