The book provides both theoretical and experimental aspects of the study of thermal expansion. Chapters are devoted to subjects on measurement methods of thermal expansion; the theory of thermal expansion; behavior of thermal expansion during the occurrence of phase transformations; and thermal expansions in ferroelectric materials. Physicists and researchers, both theoretical and experimental, in the field of thermal expansion of crystals will find this book a valuable piece of reference.
