On the switching between negative and positive thermal expansion in framework materials

The control of thermal expansion represents a challenge in materials design. This work shows that the length of the lattice parameter is a key element for controlling thermal expansion. By varying the lattice parameter through external pressure, chemical or other methods, the single-well potential e...
