Controllable negative thermal expansion in NaZn13-type La(Fe, Co, Al)13 compounds

Control of negative thermal expansion (NTE) is of great importance for various applications of NTE materials. Here, we report an effective way to control both the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and NTE temperature-window in NaZn13-type La(Fe, Co, Al)13 compounds by Al and Co substitutions. E...
