Structure of Nickel Oxide Containing Alumina

Abstract
X‐ray powder patterns have been used to measure the thermal expansion of (a) nickel oxide, (b) nickel aluminate, and (c) nickel oxide containing alumina and ignited at 1300°C in air. The results show that any solid solution that occurs must be restricted to less than 1 mole % of the solute. An X‐ray line‐broadening effect was found in the ignited and quenched nickel oxide containing alumina. This is attributed to heterogeneous lattice strains associated with a limited solid solution of nickel aluminate in nickel oxide at ignition temperatures and reprecipitation during quenching to room temperature.
