Abstract
High-temperature x-ray diffraction experiments have long been of interest for the characterization of materials with phase transitions and other structural variations above room temperature. Examples include cubic zirconia transitioning from cubic to tetragonal below 500°C, β-Alumina gradually moving from an ordered to a disordered state as temperature increases, and superionic conductors like Bi4V2O11. With a more complete understanding of the microscopic structural transitions, the origins of macroscopic properties can be identified.
