The thermal expansion at constant pressure of solid CD$_4$ III is calculated for the low temperature region where only the rotational tunneling modes are essential and the effect of phonons and librons can be neglected. It is found that in mK region there is a giant peak of the negative thermal expansion. The height of this peak is comparable or even exceeds the thermal expansion of solid N$_2$, CO, O$_2$ or CH$_4$ in their triple points. It is shown that like in the case of light methane, the effect of pressure is quite unusual: as evidenced from the pressure dependence of the thermodynamic Gr{u}neisen parameter (which is negative and large in the absolute value), solid CD$_4$ becomes increasingly quantum with rising pressure.

The effect of pressure on the thermal expansion of solid CH$_4$ is calculated for the low temperature region where the contributions from phonons and librons can be neglected and only the rotational tunnelling modes are essential. The effect of press
ure is shown to increase the magnitude of the peaks of the negative thermal expansion and shifts the positions of the peaks to the low-temperature region, which goes asymptotically to zero temperature with increasing pressure. The Gruneisen thermodynamical parameter for the rotational tunnelling modes is calculated. It is large, negative, and increases in magnitude with rising pressure.
Minimal models are developed to examine the origin of large negative thermal expansion (NTE) in under-constrained systems. The dynamics of these models reveals how underconstraint can organize a thermodynamically extensive manifold of low-energy mode
s which not only drives NTE but extends across the Brillioun zone. Mixing of twist and translation in the eigenvectors of these modes, for which in ZrW2O8 there is evidence from infrared and neutron scattering measurements, emerges naturally in our model as a signature of the dynamics of underconstraint.
The uniaxial negative thermal expansion in pentacene crystals along $a$ is a particularity in the series of the oligoacenes, and exeptionally large for a crystalline solid. Full x-ray structure analysis from 120 K to 413 K reveals that the dominant t
hermal motion is a libration of the rigid molecules about their long axes, modifying the intermolecular angle which describes the herringbone packing within the layers. This herringbone angle increases with temperature (by 0.3 -- 0.6$^{circ}$ per 100 K), and causes an anisotropic rearrangement of the molecules within the layers, i.e. an expansion in the $b$ direction, and a distinct contraction along $a$. Additionally, a larger herringbone angle improves the cofacial overlap between adjacent, parallel molecules, and thus enhances the attractive van der Waals forces.
Materials with negative thermal expansion (NTE), which contract upon heating, are of great interest both technically and fundamentally. Here, we report giant NTE covering room temperature in mechanically milled antiperovksite GaNxMn3 compounds. The m
icrograin GaNxMn3 exhibits a large volume contraction at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) to paramagnetic (PM) (AFM-PM) transition within a temperature window ({Delta}T) of only a few kelvins. The grain size reduces to ~ 30 nm after slight milling, while {Delta}T is broadened to 50K. The corresponding coefficient of linear thermal expansion ({alpha}) reaches ~ -70 ppm/K, which is almost two times larger than those obtained in chemically doped antiperovskite compounds. Further reducing grain size to ~ 10 nm, {Delta}T exceeds 100 K and {alpha} remains as large as -30 ppm/K (-21 ppm/K) for x = 1.0 (x = 0.9). Excess atomic displacements together with the reduced structural coherence, revealed by high-energy X-ray pair distribution functions, are suggested to delay the AFM-PM transition. By controlling the grain size via mechanically alloying or grinding, giant NTE may also be achievable in other materials with large lattice contraction due to electronic or magnetic phase transitions.
We use a symmetry-motivated approach to analyse neutron pair distribution function data to investigate the mechanism of negative thermal expansion (NTE) in ReO$_3$. This analysis shows that the local structure of ReO$_3$ is dominated by an in-phase o
ctahedral tilting mode and that the octahedral units are far less flexible to scissoring type deformations than the octahedra in the related compound ScF$_3$. These results support the idea that structural flexibility is an important factor in NTE materials, allowing the phonon modes that drive a volume contraction of the lattice to occupy a greater volume in reciprocal space. The lack of flexibility in ReO$_3$ restricts the NTE-driving phonons to a smaller region of reciprocal space, limiting the magnitude and temperature range of NTE. In addition, we investigate the thermal expansion properties of the material at high temperature and do not find the reported second NTE region. Finally, we show that the local fluctuations, even at elevated temperatures, respect the symmetry and order parameter direction of the observed $P4/mbm$ high pressure phase of ReO$_3$. The result indicates that the motions associated with rigid unit modes are highly anisotropic in these systems.
