AbstractThe two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) magnets retaining magnetic order in atomically thin limit demonstrate challenging physical phenomena and they are considered as prospective building blocks for construction of advanced spintronics and nanoelectronics devices. Here, we present experimental evidence for negative thermal expansion of lattice volume and vdW layers and strong spin–phonon coupling effects, caused by formation of the long-range ferromagnetic order in the vdW material CrBr3. The neutron and X-ray diffraction measurements revealed anomalous temperature variation of lattice parameters and interatomic distances and angles in the vicinity of Curie temperature (TC). A pronounced rise of the frequencies of the most of the observed vibrational modes and unusual reversal broadening of their full widths at half maximum below TC was found from Raman spectroscopy measurements.

The effect of annealing temperature and external stress on the thermal expansion of a Ti–23Nb–0.7Ta–2Zr alloy were investigated by means of thermal expansion tests under constant load and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Negative thermal expansion (NTE), which is a shrinkage during heating, was observed in both a cold rolled and annealed specimens. The intensity of (200)β peak decreased while that of (211)β peak increased as the annealing temperature increased. The difference in expansion rate between 50 °C and 250 °C is found to decrease with an increasing annealing temperature from 600 °C to 800 °C, above which it kept almost constant. The expansion rate decreased as the applied stress increased.

Abstract Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped phosphors generally suffer from thermal quenching, in which their photoluminescence (PL) intensities decrease at the higher temperature. Herein, we report a class of unique two-dimensional negative-thermal-expansion phosphor of Sc2(MoO4)3:Yb/Er. By virtue of the reduced distances between sensitizers and emitters as well as confined energy migration with increasing the temperature, a 45-fold enhancement of green upconversion (UC) luminescence and a 450-fold enhancement of near-infrared downshifting (DS) luminescence of Er3+ are achieved from 25 to 500 ˚C. The thermally boosted UC and DS luminescence mechanism is systematically investigated through in situ temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction and PL dynamics. Moreover, the luminescence lifetime of 4I11/2 of Er3+ in Sc2(MoO4)3:Yb/Er displays a strong temperature dependence, enabling ratiometric thermometry with the highest relative sensitivity of 13.4%/K at 298 K. These findings may gain a vital insight into the design of negative-thermal-expansion Ln3+-doped phosphors for versatile applications.

The Invar effect in 3D transition metal such as Ni and Mn, were prepared on a series composition of binary Ni1-xMnx system with x=0.3, 0.5, 0.8 by using powder metallurgy technique. In this work, the characterization of structural and thermal properties have been investigated experimentally by X-ray diffraction, thermal expansion coefficient and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The results show that anonymously negative thermal expansion coefficient are changeable in the structure. The results were explained due to the instability relation between magnetic spins with lattice distortion on some of ferromagnetic metals.

The thermal expansion and the Curie temperature of Gd2Fe16.5Cr0.5 compound have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction and magnetization measurements. The result shows that the Gd2Fe16.5Cr0.5 compound annealed at 1243°C has a hexagonal Th2Ni17-type structure. Cr atom substituting for Fe atom can increase the Curie temperature obviously. In magnetic state, an anisotropic anomolous thermal expansion was observed. Along the c-axis, the average linear thermal expansion coefficient αc=-2.79×10-6/K in the temperature range 294-472K, and αc =-3.09×10-5/K in 472-592K. Along the a-axis, the average linear thermal expansion coefficient αa =9.22×10-6/K in 294-552K, and αa =-1.41×10-5/K in 552-592K. In the temperature range 472-592K, the average volume thermal expansion coefficient αv =-2.14×10-5/K. The mechanism of the thermal expansion anomaly of Gd2Fe16.5Cr0.5 compound was discussed in this paper.

Abstract Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is exhibited over the entire x range for Cu1.8Zn0.2V2–xPxO7. In particular, dilatometric measurements using epoxy resin matrix composites containing the spray-dried powder demonstrated that the thermal expansion suppressive capability was almost unchanged for x≤0.1. With increasing x, the x-ray diffraction peak position moves systematically, but some peaks are extremely broad and/or asymmetric, suggesting disorder in the internal structure. The crystallographic analysis confirmed NTE enhancement by microstructural effects at least for x=0.2. Preliminary measurements suggest higher resistivity and lower dielectric constant than that of pure vanadate, which is suitable for application to electronic devices.

Magnesium hafnium tungstate [MgHf(WO4)3] was synthesized by high-energy ball milling followed by calcination. The material was characterized by variable- temperature neutron and x-ray diffraction. It crystallized in space group P21/a below 400 K and transformed to an orthorhombic structure at higher temperatures. The orthorhombic polymorph adopted space group Pnma, instead of the Pnca structure commonly observed for other A2(MO4)3 materials (A = trivalent metal, M = Mo, W). In contrast, the monoclinic polymorphs appeared to be isostructural. Negative thermal expansion was observed in the orthorhombic phase with αa = −5.2 × 10−6 K−1, αb = 4.4 × 10−6 K−1, αc = −2.9 × 10−6 K−1, αV = −3.7 × 10−6 K−1, and αl = −1.2 × 10−6 K−1. The monoclinic to orthorhombic phase transition was accompanied by a smooth change in unit-cell volume, indicative of a second-order phase transition.
