Abstract

The temperature dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient of a number of A15‐compounds was investigated by X‐ray diffraction experiments. The expansion coefficient of the high‐temperature superconductors with the A15‐structure is highly temperature dependent and has negative values below 100K. Deviations from the stoichiometric composition, substitution of foreign atoms and lattice distortions prevent negative values of the expansion coefficient. The results are discussed in connection with other physical properties of these compounds.
