Abstract
The temperature dependence of the hexagonal lattice parameter c of single crystal &$text{LaCo}{{text{O}}_{3}}$ ; (LCO) with H = 0 and 800 Oe, as well as LCO bulk powders with H = 0, was measured using high-resolution x-ray scattering near the transition temperature &${{T}_{text{o}}}approx 35$ ; K. The change of c(T) is well characterized by a power law in &$T-{{T}_{text{o}}}$ ; for &$T>{{T}_{text{o}}}$ ; and by a temperature independent constant for &$T<{{T}_{text{o}}}$ ; when convoluted with a Gaussian function of width 8.5 K. This behavior is discussed in the context of the unusual magnetic behavior observed in LCO as well as recent generalized gradient approximation calculations.
