Author(s): Ming Gao, Hankun Xu, Kun Lin, Andrea Sanson, Alessandro Venier, Alessandro Puri, Jochi Tseng, Guodong Li, Qian Zhang, Xuyu Dong, Yili Cao, Qiang Li, and Xianran Xing Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an unusual yet highly useful phenomenon that has been extensively studied in numerous crystals, including ceramics, alloys, and metal-organic frameworks. This Letter reports an unprecedented NTE in an amorphous ${\text{Fe}}_{87.5}{\mathrm{Y}}_{3}{\text{Zr}}_{1.5}{… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 106101] Published Wed Sep 03, 2025
