Abstract
This study will mainly concern itself with the relationships between atomic structure and thermal expansion as measured by diffraction methods. The closely related property of compressibility will also be discussed to some extent, although the primary emphasis will be on the thermal expansion behavior of materials. As this thesis may be read by students with relatively little background in either diffraction or thermal expansion properties, many of the sections have been formulated from basic principles. The literature review on thermal expansion is not intended to be a complete, detailed study; nevertheless, it does cover an extensive area.
