The negative thermal expansion (NTE) mechanism in Cu2O has been characterised via mapping of different Cu2O structural flexibility models onto phonons obtained using ab-initio lattice dynamics. Low frequency acoustic modes that are…

Minimal models are developed to examine the origin of large negative thermal expansion (NTE) in under-constrained systems. The dynamics of these models reveals how underconstraint can organize a thermodynamically extensive manifold of…

MnWO4 has attracted attention because of its ferroelectric property induced by frustrated helical spin order. Strong spin-lattice interaction is necessary to explain ferroelectricity associated with this type of magnetic order.We have…

Previous experiments and numerical simulations have revealed that a limited number of two- and three-dimensional particle systems contract in volume upon heating isobarically. This anomalous phenomenon is known as negative thermal expansion…

The crystal and magnetic structures of the spinel compounds ZnCr$_2$S$_4$ and ZnCr$_2$Se$_4$ were investigated by high resolution powder synchrotron and neutron diffraction. ZnCr$_2$Se$_4$ exhibits a first order phase transition at $T_N=21$…

The structurally simplest high-temperature superconductor FeSe exhibits an intriguing superconducting nematic paramagnetic phase with unusual spin excitation spectra that are different from typical spin waves; thus, determining its…

We present the high-temperature expansion up to 11th order for the specific heat $C$ and the uniform susceptibility $\chi_0$ and up to 9th order for the structure factor $S_{\bf Q}$ of the frustrated spin-half $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model…

$^{125}$Te NMR experiments in field ($H$) applied along the easy magnetization axis (the $a$-axis) revealed slow electronic dynamics developing in the paramagnetic state of UTe$_2$. The observed slow fluctuations are concerned with a…

In the fundamental understanding of magnetic interactions between atoms in solids, the crystal lattice is one of the key parameters. As the effective tool for controlling the lattice using tensile stress is limited, there are only few…

We have put into evidence the existence of an antiferromagnetic coupling between iron epilayers separated by a ZnSe crystalline semiconductor. The effect has been observed for ZnSe spacers thinner than 4 nm at room-temperature. The coupling…

We use variable-temperature (150--300\,K) single-crystal X-ray diffraction to re-examine the interplay between structure and dynamics in the ambient phase of the isotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) material Cd(CN)$_2$. We find strong…

Ca2RuO4 is a structurally-driven Mott insulator with a metal-insulator transition at TMI = 357K, followed by a well-separated antiferromagnetic order at TN = 110 K. Slightly substituting Ru with a 3d transition metal ion M effectively…

We use inelastic neutron scattering to study the temperature dependence of the low-energy spin excitations in single crystals of superconducting FeTe$_{0.6}$Se$_{0.4}$ ($T_c=14$ K). In the low-temperature superconducting state, the…

Origin and composition dependence of the anisotropic thermomechanical properties are elucidated for Ba1-xSrxZn2Si2O7 (BZS) solid solutions. The high-temperature phase of BZS shows negative thermal expansion (NTE) along one crystallographic…

Some magnetic systems display a shift in the center of their magnetic hysteresis loop away from zero field, a phenomenon termed exchange bias. Despite the extensive use of the exchange bias effect, particularly in magnetic multilayers, for…

Recently, uniaxial negative thermal expansion (NTE) has been observed in transition-metal zirconides including tetragonal (CuAl2-type) CoZr2 and orthorhombic (Re3B-type) CoZr3. Here, we report the observation of uniaxial NTE in tetragonal…

The $T$-dependence (2- 400 K) of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), magnetic susceptibility, $\chi (T)$, and specific heat, $C_{v}(T)$, of the $normal$ antiferromagnetic (AFM) spinel ZnCr$_{2}$O$_{4}$ and the spin-glass (SG)…

Materials exhibiting zero thermal expansion (ZTE), namely, volume invariance during temperature change, can resist thermal shock and are highly desired in modern industries as high-precision components. However, pure ZTE materials are rare,…
