Abstract
Thermal expansion measurements at temperatures ranging up to 900°C for polycrystalline samples of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, and Yb metals are reported. La, Ce, Pr, and Nd exhibit plastic flow properties at temperatures well below their melting points. High-temperature phase transformations are reported for Pr, Nd, and Yb. The coefficient of expansion for Yb is found to be three times as large as the coefficients for the other metals reported. Negative coefficients are observed near the Curie points of Gd, Tb, and Dy.Keywords
