Recently we have suggested that negative thermal expansion materials will also show an effect called pressure-induced softening, where shown that the elastic stiffness is...

ScF3 is a material with the ReO3 structure which shows negative thermal expansion. This experiment will use implanted muons to create an F-mu-F state in this structure and then...

Scandium fluoride has recently been identified as a very simple example of a material showing negative thermal expansion over a wide range of temperatures. In particular, it...
