Abstract

We have grown intermetallic ErPd $_{2}$ Si $_{2}$ single crystals employing laser-diodes with the floating-zone method. The temperature-dependent crystallography was determined using synchrotron and in-house X-ray powder diffraction measurements from 20 to 500 K. The diffraction patterns fit well with the tetragonal $I$ 4/ $mmm$ space group (No. 139) with two chemical formulas within one unit cell. Our synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction study shows that the refined lattice constants are $a$ = 4.10320(2) Å, $c$ = 9.88393(5) Å at 298 K and $a$ = 4.11737(2) Å, $c$ = 9.88143(5) Å at 500 K, resulting in the unit-cell volume $V$ = 166.408(1) Å $^{3}$ (298 K) and 167.517(2) Å $^{3}$ (500 K). In the whole studied temperature range, we did not find any structural phase transition. Upon cooling, the lattice constants a and c are shortened and elongated, respectively.
