This book adds to a long line of investigations of thermal expansion in a crystalline material, quartz, whose particular interest is due to its use in modern technology. Prior research has furnished information up to 220°C, but this book extends the data up to five hundred degrees Celsius. Knowing how materials expand under different temperature conditions has been of interest to scientists since variations in expansion can affect a material's utility. Variations can also, as the author shows here, indicate a more fundamental change in the molecular structure of the substance. Readers interested in solid state physics or material science will be particularly drawn to the relevance of the author's findings.
