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

Negative thermal expansion in the plateau state of a magnetically-frustrated spinel [PDF]
We report on negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the high-field, half-magnetization plateau phase of the frustrated magnetic insulator CdCr2O4. Using dilatometry, we precisely map the phase diagram at fields of up to 30T, and identify a strong NTE ...

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 ...

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.
