N2 - Specific heat, thermal expansion and magnetic measurements on single crystalline samples have been employed to study the interplay between the lattice and the magnetic state in the layered iron selenide compound Fe7Se8, which exhibits a ferrimagnetic order below TN ≈ 440 K and a spin reorientation transition upon cooling below Tsr ∼ 115 K. Thermal expansion measurements performed on single-crystal samples revealed significant anisotropic deformations of the crystal lattice with decreasing temperature below TN, an increase in the c/a ratio, and negative volume spontaneous magnetostriction (ωs ∼ −5.3⋅10−3 at 120 K). The first-order spin reorientation transition in Fe7Se8 is found to be accompanied by a hysteretic behavior of the specific heat and thermal expansion, and an anomaly in the ωs vs T dependence. The results obtained are indicative of a strong influence of the magnetoelastic interactions on the properties of Fe7Se8.
