Herein, we report on the thermal expansion and stability of V2AlC in the 25 degrees-950 degrees C temperature range. The sample was heated in an Argon atmosphere in a quartz capillary and the thermal expansion was measured using a X-ray synchrotron radiation source. Up to the maximum temperature explored, there were no signs of decomposition or phase transitions. The temperature variation of volumetric thermal expansion is given by alpha(v)=2.53(5) x 10(-5)+5.75(3) x 10(-9)T degrees C-1. At approximate to 9.40 x 10(-6) degrees C-1, the thermal expansions along both the a and c lattice directions are quite comparable; in other words, there is little thermal expansion anisotropy in V2AlC.
