✦ Synopsis

The thermal expansivity of MgO has been studied in the temperature range (300-1800 K) using various thermodynamic relationships reported in the recent literature. The volume-temperature relationship and thermal expansion coefficient as a function of temperature are predicted and compared with each other. It is found that among the various equations used the Suzuki equation presents the best agreement with the experimental data.
