The literature on vibrational thermodynamics of materials is reviewed. The emphasis is on
metals and alloys, especially on the progress over the last decade in understanding …

There has been substantial renewed interest in negative thermal expansion following the
discovery that cubic ZrW 2 O 8 contracts over a temperature range in excess of 1000 K …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials have become a rapidly growing area of
research over the past two decades. The initial discovery of materials displaying NTE over a …

Anomalous thermal expansion behaviour of several open frame-work compounds has been
extensively investigated using the techniques of inelastic neutron scattering and lattice …

The element plutonium occupies a unique place in the history of chemistry, physics,
technology, and international relations. After the initial discovery based on submicrogram …

Drawing on the author's practical work from the last 20 years, Techniques in High Pressure
Neutron Scattering is one of the first books to gather recent methods that allow neutron …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a broad and interesting class of materials known for
their mechanical flexibility. As such, their response to pressure is usually extreme and often …

We present an x-ray pair distribution function (XPDF) analysis and extended x-ray
absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data for ZrW 2 O 8 (10–500 K) with a focus on the stiffness …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) as an interesting physical behavior is promising for
thermal expansion control engineering. β-CuSCN consists of linear chain units with NTE …

Zn2GeO4 is a multifunctional material whose intrinsic thermal expansion properties below
