The thermal expansion of MgF 2 with a fluorite structure has been investigated at high
pressures using plane-wave pseudopotential scheme within the local density approximation …

In the present paper, the modified Shanker formulation by Kumar and Kumar, Indian J Pure
& Appl Phys, 46 (2008) 378) to study the compression behaviour of carbon nanotubes …

A particularly simple twoparameter relation for the variation of the product of bulk modulus
and volume thermal expansion coefficient of solids with changing temperature has been …

Daily, we can observe how pressure and temperature have a profound e ect on matter. For
instance, at ambient pressure water transforms into vapor when heated to 100° C, and …

This study presents evidence that lead metavanadate, PbV2O6, is a material with zero-linear
compressibility, which maintains its crystal size in one crystallographic direction even under …

It is a usual practice to assume that matter and its various phases in normal configuration
extensively obey a polytropic equation of state (EoS) with a generalized semiempirical …

An estimation method of thermal expansion coefficient in term of lattice energy which was
developed earlier for simple materials is extended to a complex material of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 …

An empirical high pressure equation of state is obtained by modifying the Shanker
formulation, widely used in the literature to study the thermal properties of solids. The …

We derived new expressions for volume expansion ratio, thermal expansivity and higher
order temperature derivative of volume with the change in temperature. The relationships …

Abstract Crack-free YBa 2 Cu 3 O x (YBCO) films were grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE)
on MgO (100) substrates with a YBCO seed layer. The crystalline property of LPE was …
