“…In the past three decades, NTE materials have attracted considerable attention, and a large number of experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted in this topic. − To date, it is well-known that NTE behavior can be driven by low-frequency (phonon) vibrations in framework materials such as oxides, − ,, fluorides, , and cyanides, ,,− but NTE can also be due to magnetovolume effects, ferroelectricity, and charge transfer phenomena. NTE materials can have practical applications, − especially in the control of thermal expansion coefficients and in the design of zero expansion materials. − Therefore, the discovery of new NTE compounds is of great interest.…”
