Precise cell dimensions of GaAs, GaAs0.59P0.41, GaAs0.5P0.5, and GaP have been determined from x‐ray powder diffraction patterns from −62° to 200°C. Within the temperature range investigated, the constant thermal coefficients of expansion are, respectively, 6.86×10−6, 7.81×10−6, 5.91×10−6, and 5.81×10−6°C−1. The cell dimension of pure GaP (impurity less than 3.0 ppm) is 5.4495±0.0001 Å at 24°C.
