Title: Tunable thermal expansion and magnetism in Zr-doped ScF3

Abstract

The negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior provides us an opportunity to design materials with controllable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). In this letter, we report a tunable isotropic thermal expansion in the cubic (Sc1-xZrx)F3+δ over a wide temperature and CTE range ($$α$$l = -4.0 to+ 16.8 x 10-6 K-1, 298–648 K). The thermal expansion can be well adjusted from strong negative to zero, and finally to large positive. Intriguingly, isotropic zero thermal expansion ($$α$$l = 2.6 x 10-7 K-1, 298–648 K) has been observed in the composition of (Sc0.8Zr0.2)F3+δ. The controllable thermal expansion in (Sc1-xZrx)F3+δ is correlated to the local structural distortion. Interestingly, the ordered magnetic behavior has been found in the zero thermal expansion compound of (Sc0.8Zr0.2)F3+δ at room temperature, which presumably correlates with the unpaired electron of the lower chemical valence of Zr cation. We conclude the present study provides a useful reference to control the thermal expansion and explore the multi-functionalization for NTE materials.
