Abstract

The phase behaviour and thermoelastic properties of SnMo2O8, derived from variable temperature and pressure synchrotron powder diffraction data, are reported. SnMo2O8 is a member of the AM2O8 family of negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials, but unexpectedly, has positive thermal expansion. Over the P-T space explored (298–513 K, ambient to 310 MPa) four different forms of SnMo2O8 are observed: α, β, γ and γ′. The γ to β transition is temperature-, pressure-, and time-dependent. SnMo2O8 is a much softer material (α and γ form have BT = 29 and 26 GPa at 298 K) than other members of the AM2O8 family. Counter-intuitively, its high temperature β phase becomes stiffer with increasing temperature (BT ∼36 GPa at 490 K). The pressure dependence of the thermal expansion for each phase is reported.
