Accurate measurements of the structure-cell parameters of bismuth telluride, Bi2Te3, have been made using annealed powders and etched rods cut from single-crystal ingots. Previously reported anomalies in the X-ray powder intensity data are found to originate entirely in preferred orientation of the crystallites. A study of the thermal expansion of the unit cell over the temperature range-195 to 400 C has revealed a marked anisotropy between the axial expansion coefficients, that for the c axis (22.2× 10-6per C at 20 C) being almost twice that for the a axis (12.9× 10-6). Near 200 C changes occur in both the principal axial expansions, comparable with those observed at low temperatures in certain hexagonal metal structures.
