Thermal expansion coefficients measurements of AgGa 0.7 In 0.3 Se 2 with the direction of c- and a- axis are made in the temperature range between 300 and 900 K. It is obviously that AgGa 0.7 In 0.3 Se 2 is with a reverse thermal expansion behavior along the c -axis, and variation of directional coefficient at different temperatures as a function of cos2φ has been discussed in this work. It’s found that the crystal would expand with increasing temperature if the angle between the direction [ hkl ] and the c-axis is greater than 42.71°. In addition, Gruneisen parameters at different temperatures have been calculated and also exhibit anisotropic behavior ( γ a > γ c ). At last, by a modified formula, variation of lattice thermal conductivity with temperature have been deduced. And the calculation value at room temperature is a little larger than the measurement value of thermal conductivity with [100] direction at room temperature which is found to be 0.751 W/m K.
