Negative thermal expansion in YbMn2Ge2 induced by the dual effect of magnetism and valence transition

Abstract Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an intriguing property, which is generally triggered by a single NTE mechanism. In this work, an enhanced NTE (α v  = −32.9 × 10−6 K−1, ΔT = 175 K) is achieved in YbMn2Ge2 intermetallic compound to be caused by a dual effect of magnetism and valence trans...
