We study negative thermal expansion (NTE) in model lattices with multiple atoms per cell and first- and second-nearest neighbor interactions using the (anharmonic) Morse potential. By exploring the phase space of neighbor distances and thermal expansion rates of the bonds, we determine the conditions under which NTE emerges. By permitting all bond lengths to expand at different rates, we find that NTE is possible without appealing to fully rigid units. Nearly constant, large-amplitude, isotropic NTE is observed up to the melting temperature in a classical molecular dynamics model of a $mathrm{ReO}_3$-like structure when the rigidity of octahedral units is almost completely eliminated. Only weak NTE, changing over to positive expansion is observed when the corner-linked octahedra are rigid, with flexible second-neighbor bonds between neighboring octahedra permitting easy rotation. We observe similar changes to thermal expansion behavior for the diamond lattice: NTE when second-neighbor interactions are weak to positive thermal expansion when second-neighbor interactions are strong. From these observations, we suggest that the only essential local conditions for NTE are atoms with low coordination numbers along with very low energies for changing bond angles relative to bond-stretching energies.

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.
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.
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.
Time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction and specific heat measurements were used to study the nature of thermal expansion in rhenium trioxide, an electrically conducting oxide with cubic symmetry. The temperature evolution of the lattice parameters
show that ReO3 can exhibit negative thermal expansion at low temperatures and that the transition from negative to positive thermal expansion depends on sample preparation; the single crystal sample demonstrated the highest transition temperature, 300 K, and largest negative value for the coefficient of thermal expansion, alpha = -1.1(1)x 10^-6 K^-1. For the oxygen atoms, the atomic displacement parameters are strongly anisotropic even at 15 K, indicative of a large contribution of static disorder to the displacement parameters. Further inspection of the temperature evolution of the oxygen displacement parameters for different samples reveals that the static disorder contribution is greater for the samples with diminished NTE behavior. In addition, specific heat measurements show that ReO3 lacks the low energy Einstein-type modes seen in other negative thermal expansion oxides such as ZrW2O8.
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.
