Dear Friends.. I will be thankful to you if anybody could get me the thermal expansion coefficient of MgTiO3, and SrTiO3 (either singel crystal or ceramics). Thanking you in advance.. Cheers..

Thermal expansivity, also known as thermal expansion, is a property of matter that describes the tendency of a material to change its shape, volume, or dimensions in response to temperature changes.
Thermal expansivity is typically measured using a device called a dilatometer, which measures the change in length, volume, or area of a material as it is heated or cooled.
The main factors that affect thermal expansivity are the type of material, its chemical composition, and the temperature range it is exposed to. Generally, materials with weaker bonds between atoms or molecules tend to have higher thermal expansivity.
Thermal expansivity plays a role in many everyday objects and processes. For example, it is important in the design and construction of buildings, roads, and bridges to account for the expansion and contraction of materials due to temperature changes. It is also important in the functioning of engines and other machinery that rely on the expansion and contraction of materials to operate effectively.
Yes, thermal expansivity can be controlled or manipulated through various methods such as using different materials with different thermal properties, adding fillers or reinforcements to materials, or using temperature-resistant coatings or layers. These techniques are often used in engineering and manufacturing to minimize the effects of thermal expansion on structures or products.
