I didn't know where exactly should I post this kind of question :)

I need to find experimental values of linear thermal expansion coefficients of copper at various temperatures (ranging 100-1500K); however, as much as I google it I only get coefficients at 20 degrees of celsius, or else there is a paywall. Does anyone know where/how should I keep searching?
