Materials exhibiting zero thermal expansion (ZTE), namely, volume invariance during temperature change, can resist thermal shock and are highly desired in modern industries as high-precision components. However, pure ZTE materials are rare, especially those that are metallic. Here, we report the discovery of a pure metallic ZTE material: an orthorhombic Mn1-xNixCoSi spiral magnet. The introduction of Ni can efficiently enhance the ferromagnetic exchange interaction and construct the transition from a spiral magnetic state to a ferromagnetic-like state in MnCoSi-based alloys. Systematic in situ neutron powder diffraction revealed a new cycloidal spiral magnetic structure in bc plane at ground state which would transform to the helical spiral in the ab plane with increasing temperature. Combined with Lorentz transmission electron microscopy techniques, the cycloidal and helical spin order coherently rotated at varying periods along the c axis during the magnetic transition. This spin rotation drove the continuous movement of the coupled crystalline lattice and induced a large negative thermal expansion along the a axis, eventually leading to a wide-temperature ZTE effect. Our work not only introduces a new ZTE alloy but also presents a new mechanism by which to discover or design ZTE magnets.

There is much interest in the physics of materials that show a strong coupling between magnetic and electric degrees of freedom. In a recent paper by Mostovoy a theory is presented that is based on symmetry arguments and leads to quite general claims
which we feel merit some further analysis. In particular, Mostovoy concludes that spiral magnets are, in general, ferroelectric. We argue that this conclusion is not generally valid, and that the symmetry of the unit cell has to be taken into account by any symmetry-based magneto-electric coupling theory. In an attempt to avoid further confusion in the search of new multiferroic materials, we identify in this Comment some of the necessary symmetry properties of spiral magnets that can lead to ferroelectricity.
Atomic motion of a photo-induced coherent phonon of bismuth (Bi) is directly observed with time-resolved x-ray diffraction under a cryogenic temperature. It is found that displacive excitation in a fully symmetric A$_{mathrm{1g}}$ phonon mode is supp
ressed at a temperature $T = 9$ K. This result implies a switching of the phonon-generation mechanism from displacive to impulsive excitation with decreasing the temperature. It is comprehensibly understandable in a framework of stimulated Raman scattering. The suppression of displacive excitation also indicates that the adiabatic potential surface deviates from a parabolic one, which is assumed to be realized at room temperature. This study points out important aspects of phonon generation in transient phonon-induced quantum phenomena.
We report thermal expansion and magnetostriction in breathing pyrochlore magnets LiACr$_4$X$_8$ (A = Ga, In, X = O, S) measured by a dilatometric method on sintered samples. All four of these compounds showed a large volume contraction associated wit
h antiferromagnetic order with decreasing temperature. Above the Neel temperature, LiGaCr4S8 showed negative thermal expansion, LiInCr4O8 showed positive thermal expansion with concave-downward temperature dependence, and LiInCr4S8 showed positive forced volume magnetostriction. All these phenomena are likely caused by the complex structure-magnetism correlation within the breathing pyrochlore structure with J and J. These results suggested that breathing pyrochlore magnets are promising for the realization of various volumetric phenomena related to their magnetism not only in the magnetically-ordered phase but also in the paramagnetic phase.
We provide a complete quantitative explanation for the anisotropic thermal expansion of hcp Ti at low temperature. The observed negative thermal expansion along the c-axis is reproduced theoretically by means of a parameter free theory which involves
both the electron and phonon contributions to the free energy. The thermal expansion of titanium is calculated and found to be negative along the c-axis for temperatures below $sim$ 170 K, in good agreement with observations. We have identified a saddle-point Van Hove singularity near the Fermi level as the main reason for the anisotropic thermal expansion in $alpha-$titanium.
Thermal expansion in materials can be accurately modeled with careful anharmonic phonon calculations within density functional theory. However, because of interest in controlling thermal expansion and the time consumed evaluating thermal expansion pr
operties of candidate materials, either theoretically or experimentally, an approach to rapidly identifying materials with desirable thermal expansion properties would be of great utility. When the ionic bonding is important in a material, we show that the fraction of crystal volume occupied by ions, (based upon ionic radii), the mean bond coordination, and the deviation of bond coordination are descriptors that correlate with the room-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion for these materials found in widely accessible databases. Correlation is greatly improved by combining these descriptors in a multi-dimensional fit. This fit reinforces the physical interpretation that open space combined with low mean coordination and a variety of local bond coordinations leads to materials with lower coefficients of thermal expansion, materials with single-valued local coordination and less open space have the highest coefficients of thermal expansion.
