Crystal structure parameters were determined for the delafossite type compound CuAlO 2 at 295, 450, 600, 750, 900, and 1200 K with single crystal high temperature X-ray diffraction technique. Anisotropic refinements result in conventional R values of 0.021, 0.027, 0.029, 0.030, 0.032, and 0.036 at respective temperatures. Crystals of CuAlO 2 have the rhombohedral space group R 3 m with a= 2.8584 (7), c= 16.958 (3) Å and Z= 3 at 295 K. The mean thermal expansion coefficient for the dimension a is 11.0× 10− 6 K− 1 about three times larger than 4.1× 10− 6 K− 1 for c. In the structure, the AlO 6 octahedra are linked by their O O edges and form AlO 2 layers perpendicular to the c axis with the thickness corresponding to the height of an octahedron. With increasing temperature, the AlO 6 octahedra expand along the directions of the basal plane, while expansion scarcely occurs along the c axis. The Cu atom lying between the AlO 2 layers shows a large anisotropic behavior in the thermal vibration. The temperature factor for Cu atom in the basal plane becomes very large (0.044 Å 2) at 1200 K, but the ratio of the temperature factor perpendicular to c to that parallel to c does not change appreciably with increasing temperature.
