Abstract: Negative and zero thermal expansion (NTE and ZTE) materials are widely adopted to eliminate the harmful effect from the "heat expansion and cool contraction" effect and frequently embrace novel fundamental physicochemical mechanisms. To date, the… read more here.

Abstract: The [B3O6] group has attracted a lot of attention as α-BaB2O4 (α-BBO) is composed of the [B3O6] group showing a short UV cut-off edge and a large birefringence. However, it is difficult to synthesize novel… read more here.
