Abstract
The thermal expansion of Sr2FeVO5.6 (SFVO) has been measured in the temperature interval 20-300K by the powder X-ray diffraction technique to elucidate the relationship between the crystal symmetry and its magnetic behaviour.The thermal expansion coefficients αa, αb and αc revealed a sudden decrease at 80 K and 240 K, although the crystal symmetry of the compound remained unchanged Moreover, for 100 K<T<240 K as well as T>270 K, a high anisotropy of the thermal expansion was obsewed. This effect is expected to be related to changes in the magnetic ordering of the compound studied [I].
