Abstract
The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters of pure anorthite with high Al/Si order reveals the predicted tricritical behaviour of the {Mathematical expression} phase transition at Tc*=510 K. The spontaneous strain couples to the order parameter Q° as xi∝SxQiQ°2 with SxQ1=4.166×10-3, SxQ2=0.771×10-3, SxQ3=-7.223×10-3 for the diagonal elements. The temperature dependence of Q° is {Mathematical expression} A strong dependence of Tc*, SxQi and β is predicted for Al/Si disordered anorthite.
