Anomalous elasticity in negative thermal expansion materials
Recent experimental work on the negative thermal expansion material Zn(CN)2 has shown that the elastic stiffness is anomalously reduced on compression. That is, if B is the bulk... -
Understanding negative compressibility in KMn[Ag(CN)2]3
Negative linear compressibility (NLC) is the phenomenon whereby at least one of the linear dimensions of a material actually expand under hydrostatic pressure. It is only... -
Spin excitations in CeCoSi under hydrostatic pressure
The meta-orbital transition is a new theoretical concept to explain the nature of quantum criticality in heavy-fermion systems. Such a transition can occur e.g. as function of...
