The temperature dependence of the lattice parameter a of the powder samples of the mixed spinels Zn 1− x Cu x Cr 2 Se 4 was measured in the temperature range 100–570 K by the X‐ray powder diffraction technique. The temperature dependence of the magnetostriction was observed from these results. For x = 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 0.3 and 0.2 the spontaneous magnetostriction ω turned out to be positive and dependent on temperature. Based on the molecular field approximation the pressure coefficients of the Curie temperature d T c /d p were estimated.
