“…Many earlier studies have examined composites containing NTE materials, particularly β-eucryptite (Xue et al, 2010; Borrell et al, 2012) and ZrW 2 O 8 (Holzer and Dunand, 1999; Matsumoto et al, 2003; Sullivan and Lukehart, 2005; Lind et al, 2011), as thermal expansion compensating fillers. Regarding phase-transition-type giant NTE materials, composites containing Mn 3 A N (Ding et al, 2011; Takenaka et al, 2012, 2015; Takenaka and Ichigo, 2014; Lin et al, 2017), BiNi 1−x Fe x O 3 (Nabetani et al, 2015), La(Fe, Si, Co) 13 (Shan et al, 2015), and Ca 2 Ru 0.92 Fe 0.08 O 3.82 (Takenaka et al, 2017b) have been reported. Because their chemical reactivity is higher at high temperatures than those of conventional NTE materials, phase-transition-type NTE materials are difficult to use as thermal expansion compensating filler, particularly in cases of metal matrix composites (MMCs).…”
