Neutron diffraction is used to reveal the origin and control of thermal expansion properties cubic intermetallic compounds Mn${}_{3}$Zn${}_{x}$N Mn${}_{3}$[Zn-(Ag,Ge)]${}_{x}$N. We show that introduction Zn vacancies induces stabilizes an antiferromagnetic phase with huge spin-lattice coupling can be tuned achieve zero (ZTE) over a wide temperature range. further ordering (${T}_{N}$) controls this ZTE by chemical substitution, again on site, adjust span temperatures from well above room...
The near zero temperature coefficient of resistivity (NZ-TCR) in Mn-based antiperovskite Mn3Ni1−xCuxN is reported. range NZ-TCR controllable by changing Cu content. Further, the TCR value 0.09 ppm K−1 was obtained Mn3Ni0.5Cu0.5N over a broad around room temperature. anomalous change from metal-like to behavioris apparently due magnetic transition. possible reason for formation interpreted on basis spin-disorder scattering.
The antiperovskite Mn3+xNi1–xN compounds have been synthesized and characterized by a variety of experimental techniques. After Mn doping at the Ni site, both ferromagnetic characteristics an Invar-like effect were observed in antiferromagnetic host material. behavior was assumed to be related characteristic magnetic structure induced doping.

A novel scheme for the focusing of high-energy leptons in future linear colliders was proposed 2001 [P. Raimondi and A. Seryi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3779 (2001)]. This has many advantageous properties over previously studied schemes, including being significantly shorter a given energy having better bandwidth. Experimental results from ATF2 accelerator at KEK are presented that validate operating principle such by demonstrating demagnification 1.3 GeV electron beam down to below 65 nm height...
The nuclear and magnetic structures of the cubic antiperovskite compound Mn3NiN are studied using neutron powder diffraction as a function temperature applied field. On cooling in zero field from paramagnetic state, an anomalous lattice expansion abruptly occurs long range antiferromagnetic order first develops below TN = 262 K. structure has lower symmetry than crystal can be conveniently described by rhombohedral R-3 with dimension √2ac × √3ac, where ac is chemical unit cell.

The crystal and magnetic structures of antiperovskite compounds Mn3SnC, Mn3Sn0.95C0.9, Mn3Sn0.93Si0.07C0.94 were studied as a function temperature field by neutron powder diffraction. For the induces dramatic variation antiferromagnetic moment lattice parameter. Because this spin-lattice coupling, "square" (AFM) structure plays key role in inducing negative thermal expansion material. Moreover, parameter is closely related to rate change AFM moment, which can be controlled introducing...
Extensive first-principle molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the phase behavior of metastable liquid Si at negative pressure. Our results show that high-density (HDL) and HDL-vapor spinodals indeed form a continuous reentrant curve liquid-liquid critical point seems just coincide with its minimum. The line density maxima also has strong tendency pass through this behaviour therefore tends be critical-point-free scenario rather than second-critical-point one based on SW potential.
Abstract The relationship between structural order and water-like anomalies in tetrahedral liquids is still open. Here, first-principle molecular dynamics are performed to study it metastable liquid Si. It found that T - P phase diagram, there indeed exists a anomaly region, which encloses density but not diffusivity anomaly. This consistent with of SW Si BKS SiO 2 different from SPC/E water. Two-body excess entropy can neither capture the diffusivity, structural, anomalies, as two-scale...
It was recently reported in experiments that at temperatures below 2500 K liquid nitrogen (N) remains molecular up to 120 GPa [Phys. Rev.

To clarify this, we perform extensive first principles dynamics using SCAN meta-GGA functional, captures the intermediate-range part of van der Waals interaction better than PBE-GGA. is found gives more accurate bond energy length an...
