An analytical and numerical investigation of auxeticity in cubic crystals and frameworks

Negative Poisson’s ratio, or auxetic, materials present the possibility of designing structures and components with tailored or enhanced mechanical properties. This thesis explores the phenomenon of auxetic behaviour in cubic crystals using classical and quantum modelling techniques and assesses the...
