Negative thermal expansion (NTE), referring to the lattice contraction upon heating, has
been an attractive topic of solid-state chemistry and functional materials. The response of a …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an intriguing physical property of solids, which is a
consequence of a complex interplay among the lattice, phonons, and electrons …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for hydrogen storage that fail to
achieve expected theoretical values of volumetric storage density due to poor powder …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is a counterintuitive physical phenomenon that the unit
cell volume of material usually contracts instead of expands upon heating. With two …

Materials with negative Poisson's ratio attract considerable attention due to their underlying
intriguing physical properties and numerous promising applications, particularly in stringent …

Flexibility is a unique property of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that differentiates them
from other rigid inorganic porous materials such as zeolites and porous silica. Flexible …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

X-Ray single-crystal diffraction has been the most straightforward and important technique in
structural determination of crystalline materials for understanding their structure–property …

This article describes a web-based tool (PASCal; principal axis strain calculator;
http://pascal. chem. ox. ac. uk) designed to simplify the determination of principal coefficients …

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is the phenomenon in which materials shrink rather than
expand on heating. Although NTE had been previously observed in a few simple materials …
