XXXVIII.The thermal expansion of zinc by the X-ray method

Abstract
The parameter of zinc has been measured at various temperatures ranging from 20° C. to 400° C. It is found that the crystal structure remains close-packed hexagonal even at the highest temperature. This is taken as evidence that no allotropic modification of zinc exists up to this temperature. From the values of the parameter and axial ratio, the mean thermal coefficient of linear expansion along and at right angles to the hexagonal axis, and the mean volume coefficient, are calculated for different ranges of temperature.
