Crystal growth and negative thermal expansion properties of a Y₂Mo₄O₁₅ single crystal.

ABSTRACT: A bulk-size single crystal of Y₂Mo₄O₁₅ with 20 × 11 × 8 mm³ was successfully grown by the top-seed solution growth (TSSG) method. The full-width at half maximum of (100) and (010) crystal faces is 37 and 27 arcsec, respectively. The thermal conductivity coefficients κ ₁₁, κ ₂₂, κ ₃₃, and κ ₁₃ are determined to be 1.519, 2.097, 0.445, and 0.997 W m^-1 K^-1, respectively. It is worth noting that the Y₂Mo₄O₁₅ crystal shows significant anisotropy thermal expansion properties, which exhibits a negative thermal expansion along the b-axis (α ₂₂ = -5.11 × 10^-6 K^-1). The crystal structure analysis shows that the shrinking of Mo-O bond lengths along the b-axis with the increasing temperature would be the main origin of the negative thermal expansion properties for Y₂Mo₄O₁₅ crystal, which does not comply with the current mechanism.

Preparation of Zr(Mo,W)2O8 with a larger negative thermal expansion by controlling the thermal decomposition of Zr(Mo,W)2(OH,Cl)2?2H2O.

Project description:Solid solutions of Zr(Mo,W)2O7(OH,Cl)2?2H2O with a preset ratio of components were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The chemical composition of the solutions was determined by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). For all the samples of ZrMoxW2-xO7(OH,Cl)2?2H2O (x?=?0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0), TGA and in situ powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies (300-1100?K) were conducted. For each case, the boundaries of the transformations were determined: Zr(Mo,W)2O7(OH,Cl)2?2H2O???orthorhombic-ZrMoxW2-xO8 (425-525?K), orthorhombic-ZrMoxW2-xO8???cubic-ZrMoxW2-xO8 (700-850?K), cubic-ZrMoxW2-xO8???trigonal-ZrMoxW2-xO8 (800-1050?K for x?>?1) and cubic-ZrMoxW2-xO8???oxides (1000-1075?K for x???1). The cell parameters of the disordered cubic-ZrMoxW2-xO8 (space group Pa-3) were measured within 300-900?K, and the thermal expansion coefficients were calculated: -3.5?10-6?-?-4.5?10-6?K-1. For the ordered ZrMo1.8W0.2O8 (space group P213), a negative thermal expansion (NTE) coefficient -9.6?10-6?K-1 (300-400?K) was calculated. Orthorhombic-ZrW2O8 is formed upon the decomposition of ZrW2O7(OH,Cl)2?2H2O within 500-800?K.

Mesopores induced zero thermal expansion in single-crystal ferroelectrics.

Project description:For many decades, zero thermal expansion materials have been the focus of numerous investigations because of their intriguing physical properties and potential applications in high-precision instruments. Different strategies, such as composites, solid solution and doping, have been developed as promising approaches to obtain zero thermal expansion materials. However, microstructure controlled zero thermal expansion behavior via interface or surface has not been realized. Here we report the observation of an impressive zero thermal expansion (volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, -1.41 × 10-6 K-1, 293-623 K) in single-crystal ferroelectric PbTiO3 fibers with large-scale faceted and enclosed mesopores. The zero thermal expansion behavior is attributed to a synergetic effect of positive thermal expansion near the mesopores due to the oxygen-based polarization screening and negative thermal expansion from an intrinsic ferroelectricity. Our results show that a fascinating surface construction in negative thermal expansion ferroelectric materials could be a promising strategy to realize zero thermal expansion.

Entropic elasticity and negative thermal expansion in a simple cubic crystal.

Project description:While most solids expand when heated, some materials show the opposite behavior: negative thermal expansion (NTE). In polymers and biomolecules, NTE originates from the entropic elasticity of an ideal, freely jointed chain. The origin of NTE in solids has been widely believed to be different. Our neutron scattering study of a simple cubic NTE material, ScF3, overturns this consensus. We observe that the correlation in the positions of the neighboring fluorine atoms rapidly fades on warming, indicating an uncorrelated thermal motion constrained by the rigid Sc-F bonds. This leads us to a quantitative theory of NTE in terms of entropic elasticity of a floppy network crystal, which is in remarkable agreement with experimental results. We thus reveal the formidable universality of the NTE phenomenon in soft and hard matter.

Substitutions of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12 for Less Hygroscopicity and Low Thermal Expansion Properties.

Project description:In this investigation, ZrxY2-xVxMo3-xO12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.4) is developed and the effects of the substitutions of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12 on the hygroscopicity and thermal expansion property are investigated. For the smaller substitution content (x ≤ 0.5), their crystal structures remain orthorhombic, while there is crystal water still in the lattice. The linear coefficients of thermal expansions (CTEs), for x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, are about -4.30 × 10-6, -0.97 × 10-6, 0.85 × 10-6, and 0.77 × 10-6 K-1, respectively, from 476 to 773 K, which means that the linear CTE could be changed linearly with the substitution content of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12. As long as the substitution content reaches x = 1.3/1.4, almost no hygroscopicity and low thermal expansion from room temperature are obtained and are discussed in relation to the crystal structure and microstructure.

Efficient Calculation of the Negative Thermal Expansion in ZrW2O8.

Project description:We present a study of the origin of the negative thermal expansion (NTE) on ZrW2O8 by combining an efficient approach for computing the dynamical matrix with the Lanczos algorithm for generating the phonon density of states in the quasi-harmonic approximation. The simulations show that the NTE arises primarily from the motion of the O-sublattice, and in particular, from the transverse motion of the O atoms in the W-O and W-O-Zr bonds. In the low frequency range these combine to keep the WO4 tetrahedra rigid and induce internal distortions in the ZrO6 octahedra. The force constants associated with these distortions become stronger with expansion, resulting in negative Grüneisen parameters and NTE from the low frequency modes that dominate the positive contributions from the high frequency modes. This leads us to propose an anharmonic, two-frequency Einstein model that quantitatively captures the NTE behavior.

Negative thermal expansion and electronic structure variation of chalcopyrite type LiGaTe2.

Project description:The LiGaTe2 crystals up to 5 mm in size were grown by the modified Bridgman-Stockbarger technique and the cell parameter dependence on temperature in the range of 303-563 K was evaluated by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The thermal behavior of LiGaTe2 is evidently anisotropic and a negative thermal expansion is found along crystallographic direction c with coefficient -8.6 × 10-6. However, the normal thermal expansion in two a directions with coefficient 19.1 × 10-6 is dominant providing unit cell volume increase on heating. The atomic mechanism is proposed to describe this pronounced anisotropic expansion effect. The electronic structure of LiGaTe2 is measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the band structure is obtained by DFT calculations. The pressure response from 0 to 5 GPa was calculated and a normal crystal compression is found. This work indicates that LiGaTe2 is promising as an IR NLO or window material for many practical applications because the thermal expansion coefficients of this telluride are not big. We believe that these results would be beneficial for the discovery and exploration of new IR optoelectronic polyfunctional metal tellurides.

Uniaxial Negative Thermal Expansion and Mechanical Properties of a Zinc-Formate Framework.

Project description:The thermal expansion behavior of a metal-formate framework, Zn(HCOO)₂·2(H₂O) (1), has been systematically studied via variable temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Our results demonstrate that this formate exhibits significant negative thermal expansion (NTE, -26(2) MK-1) along its c-axis. Detailed structural analyses reveal that the large NTE response is attributed to the 'hinge-strut' like framework motion. In addition, the fundamental mechanical properties of framework 1 have been explored via nanoindentation experiments. The measured elastic modulus and hardness properties on the (00-2)/(100)/(110) facets are 35.5/35.0/27.1 and 2.04/1.83/0.47 GPa, respectively. The stiffness and hardness anisotropy can be correlated well with the underlying framework structure, like its thermoelastic behavior.

Optical Properties of a CsMnBr3 Single Crystal.

Project description:Lead-free perovskite materials with good stability are promising for various applications. In order to explore their application in optoelectronic devices, it is essential to investigate their fundamental optical properties. In this work, we have synthesized a CsMnBr3 single crystal (SC) with red emission at ∼621 nm and studied their optical properties. Through the measurement of temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectra, it is found that a phase transition occurs at approximately 100 K in the SC, which is absent in the CsMnBr3 nanocrystals (NCs). Furthermore, the SC exhibits stronger electron and longitudinal optical phonon coupling strength than that of the NCs at low temperatures. In addition, under the resonant excitation at 600 nm, the SC possesses strong saturable absorption property, with a modulation depth of ∼27%. Interestingly, the SC also exhibits a large two-photon absorption coefficient of ∼0.035 cm GW-1 at 800 nm and an excellent optical limiting behavior. The experimental results indicate that the CsMnBr3 SC is a class of excellent environmentally friendly optoelectronic materials.

Synthesis conditions impact on Sr11Mo4O23 electroceramic: crystal structure, stability and transport properties.

Project description:Crystal structure and properties of Sr11Mo4O23 treated at 1100 and 1400 °C were studied via synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis, coupled with mass spectrometry. Synchrotron studies reveal the crystallographic effect of the annealing temperature, showing that the lowest-temperature phase must be defined in a triclinic symmetry, in contrast to the cubic one obtained at 1400 °C. The mass spectrometry allowed the identification of the released compounds during the thermogravimetric analysis, thus unveiling the physicochemical behavior of the sample during the heating process. Furthermore, an aging analysis was made, confirming the superior stability of this sample when it is treated at 1400 °C. Finally, an optimized sintering procedure allowed us to obtain a superior density and hence the highest conductivity measured so far for this system.

Giant uniaxial negative thermal expansion in FeZr2 alloy over a wide temperature range.

Project description:Negative thermal expansion (NTE) alloys possess great practical merit as thermal offsets for positive thermal expansion due to its metallic properties. However, achieving a large NTE with a wide temperature range remains a great challenge. Herein, a metallic framework-like material FeZr2 is found to exhibit a giant uniaxial (1D) NTE with a wide temperature range (93-1078 K, [Formula: see text]). Such uniaxial NTE is the strongest in all metal-based NTE materials. The direct experimental evidence and DFT calculations reveal that the origin of giant NTE is the couple with phonons, flexible framework-like structure, and soft bonds. Interestingly, the present metallic FeZr2 excites giant 1D NTE mainly driven by high-frequency optical branches. It is unlike the NTE in traditional framework materials, which are generally dominated by low energy acoustic branches. In the present study, a giant uniaxial NTE alloy is reported, and the complex mechanism has been revealed. It is of great significance for understanding the nature of thermal expansion and guiding the regulation of thermal expansion.
