Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="crat201200478-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Changes of lattice parameters of Sr_{<italic>x</italic>}Ba_{1‐<italic>x</italic>}Nb₂O₆ (0.35&lt;<italic>x</italic>&lt;0.72) solid solution single crystals were measured as a function of temperature. The X‐ray Bond method was used to carry out very precise measurements of the lattice parameters. Fine correlations between values of the lattice parameter and the Sr concentration in the solid solution of Sr_{<italic>x</italic>}Ba_{1‐<italic>x</italic>}Nb₂O₆ single crystals are found. A conventional analysis of lattice parameter data in terms of spontaneous strain and strain/order parameter coupling shows that a normal… <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg26mdgdfx" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
