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

The lithium aluminosilicate system (LAS) is being explored for almost seven decades due to
its anomalous and attractive properties (especially low/negative thermal expansion and fast …

An updated edition of the essential guide to the technology of glass-ceramic technology
Glass-ceramic materials share many properties with both glass and more traditional …

Due to the advantage of invariable length with temperatures, zero thermal expansion (ZTE)
materials are intriguing but very rare especially for the metals based compounds. Here, we …

Because of the large coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)(23 ppm K–1), aluminum faces
challenges in meeting the demands of high dimensional stability in precision instruments …

We have parameterized a reactive force field (ReaxFF) for lithium–aluminum silicates using
density functional theory (DFT) calculations of structural properties of a number of bulk …

In order to investigate their microcracking behaviour, the microstructures of several β-
