Abstract

This chapter discusses the reduction in the number of independent tensor components by crystal symmetry, representation surfaces, the quasiharmonic approximation and the Grüneisen relation. Experimental methods including diffraction, optical and electrical methods are presented. Finally, the relation between thermal expansion and crystal structure is discussed.
