Figure 7
Representation surface of the MS9 thermal expansion tensor at selected temperatures. Coloured arrows identify the eigenvectors of the thermal expansion tensor and the black arrows show the crystallographic axes. Green shading indicates positive values and red shading indicates negative thermal expansion values. Tensor surfaces were generated in WinTensor (Kaminsky, 2004 2007) and postprocessed with Meshconv (courtesy of Patrick Min, Princeton) and Meshlab (Sourceforge). |
