Abstract: | An in situ x-ray diffraction study of Cs2ZnI4 crystals performed in the 4.2–300 K temperature range is reported. The lattice parameter measurements have revealed three
anomalies corresponding to phase transitions. The thermal expansion coefficient along the c axis was found to vanish in the region of incommensurate and commensurate modulated phases, 120–96 K (the invar effect).
A possible crystallographic model relating modulated atomic displacements to the invar effect is discussed.
