摘要
The cubic face-centered structure of LiAl (Fd3m, a = 6.35971(3) Angstrom at 290 K) transforms into a tetragonal body-centered structure (I4(1)/amd, a = 4.47831(1) Angstrom, c = 6.34435(2) Angstrom at 12 K). This first-order phase transition at about 93(2) K during heating is probably the reason for the so-called "100 K anomalies" in some physical properties like specific heat, electrical resistivity and nuclear-spin lattice relaxation. This transition seems to be correlated with the composition Li:Al of the alloy and the amount of Li vacancies. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
