Abstract: | The structure of deuterated portlandite, Ca(OD)2, was investigated using time-of-flight neutron diffraction in the temperature range 308-643 K. Rietveld analysis reveals that with increasing temperature, the c dimension expands at a rate ∼4.5 times larger than that for a. This anisotropy of thermal expansion is due to rapid increase in the interlayer thickness along c with increasing temperature. Fitting of the measured cell volumes yields a coefficient of thermal expansion, α=α0+α1T, where α0=5.966×10−5 K−1 and α1=3.333×10−8 K−2. On heating, hydrogen-mediated interatomic interactions within the interlayer become weakened, as reflected by increases in the interlayer D?O and D?D distances with increasing temperature. Correspondingly, the three equivalent sites over which D is disordered become further apart, suggesting a more delocalized configuration of D at high temperatures. |
