In this article we report on the atomic displacement parameters, lattice expansions, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of samples of Ti{sub 4}AlN{sub 3} in the 298-1370 K temperature range. Rietveld refinement of high temperature neutron diffraction data shows that the nitrogen is substoichiometric and the formula is Ti{sub 4}AlN{sub 2.9}. In this structure, the atomic displacement parameters of the Al atoms are higher than those of either the Ti or N atoms. The Ti-N bonds adjacent to the Al planes are about 2.5% shorter than the Ti-N bonds in the inner layers. The thermal expansion coefficients along the a and c axes are, respectively, (9.6{+-}0.1)x10{sup -6} and (8.8{+-}0.1)x10{sup -6} K{sup -1}. The unit cell expansivity, (9.4{+-}0.1)x10{sup -6} K{sup -1}, is in agreement with the dilatometric bulk thermal expansivity (9.7{+-}0.2)x10{sup -6} K{sup -1}. The heat capacity, c{sub p}, is 150 J/mol K at ambient temperatures and extrapolates to {approx_equal}220 J/mol K at 1300 K. At all temperatures c{sub p} equals four times the molar heat capacity of TiN. The room temperature thermal conductivity is 12 W/m K and increases linearly to {approx_equal}20 W/m K at 1300 K.
