On the switching between negative and positive thermal expansion in framework materials
The control of thermal expansion represents a challenge in materials design. This work shows that the length of the lattice parameter is a key element for controlling thermal expansion. By varying the lattice parameter through external pressure, chemical

EXAFS and negative thermal expansion in CdTe
CdTe is affected by a low-temperature negative thermal expansion (NTE) of the lattice parameter, whose strength and temperature interval are intermediate between those of the iso-structural crystals Ge and CuCl. EXAFS measurements have been performed on CdTe from 19 to 300 K.

Which phonons contribute most to negative thermal expansion in ScF3?
Using calculations of the phonon distribution in ScF3 across the whole of reciprocal space, we show that the important phonons for the negative thermal expansion in this material are those associated with the rigid unit modes (RUMs) and associated quasi ...

Optimized negative thermal expansion property in low-cost Mg2P2O7-based bulk material
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an intriguing physical phenomenon, which is of great significance for the high precision application. In this work, we have realized to broaden the NTE temperature zone in Mg2P2O7-based bulk material by doping Cu atom ...

Mechanisms and Materials for NTE
Negative thermal expansion (NTE) upon heating is an unusual property but is observed in many materials over varying ranges of temperature. A brief review of mechanisms for NTE and prominent materials will be presented here.

Negative thermal expansion of water in hydrophobic nanospaces [PDF]
The density and intermolecular structure of water in carbon micropores (w = 1.36 nm) are investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements between 20 K and 298 K. The SAXS results suggest that the density of the water in the micropores increased with increasing temperature over a wide temperature range (20-277

Negative Thermal Expansion Properties of Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ
A novel negative thermal expansion (NTE) material composed of Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ was synthesized using the solid-state method. By allowing Sr2+ to partially replace Sm3+ in SmMnO3, the ceramic material Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ exhibits NTE properties between 360K and 873K, and its average negative thermal expansion coefficient was −10.08 × 10−6/K.
