Title: Efficient Calculation of the Negative Thermal Expansion in ZrW2O8

Abstract

We present a study of the origin of the negative thermal expansion (NTE) on ZrW2O8 by combining an efficient approach for computing the dynamical matrix with the Lanczos algorithm for generating the phonon density of states in the quasi-harmonic approximation. The simulations show that the NTE arises primarily from the motion of the O-sublattice, and in particular, from the transverse motion of the O atoms in the W–O and W–O–Zr bonds. In the low frequency range these combine to keep the WO4 tetrahedra rigid and induce internal distortions in the ZrO6 octahedra. The force constants associated with these distortions become stronger with expansion, resulting in negative Grüneisen parameters and NTE from the low frequency modes that dominate the positive contributions from the high frequency modes. This leads us to propose an anharmonic, two-frequency Einstein model that quantitatively captures the NTE behavior.

FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1: | Structure of the ZrW2O8 cell. The cell is composed of four equivalent Zr atoms (magenta), eight W atoms, of type WFF (blue) and WFR (green), and 32 O atoms of type OLS (yellow), OSL (red), OFR (orange) and OFF (black). Examples of the different types of Omore » and W atoms are highlighted, and the coordination tetrahedra and octahedra are also included for clarity. The WFF, WFR, OLS, OSL, OFR, and OFF atoms correspond, respectively, to the W1, W2, O1, O2, O3, and O4 in the traditional notation (Mary et al., 1996).« less
