Pressure-induced softening as a common feature of framework structures that have negative thermal expansion

Abstract

Results of a series of molecular dynamics simulations of cubic siliceous zeolites suggest that pressure-induced softening -- the phenomenon in which a material becomes progressively more compressible under pressure -- is likely to be a common feature of framework materials that show negative thermal expansion. The correlation between the negative thermal expansion and the pressure-induced softening is investigated on the basis of thermodynamics.
