Temperature-dependent pressure-induced softening in Zn(CN)\(_{2}\)

We investigate the temperature dependence of the pressure-induced softening in the negative thermal expansion material Zn(CN)\(_2\) using neutron powder diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations. Both the simulation and experiment show that the pressure-induced softening only occurs above a min...

Description
Summary:We investigate the temperature dependence of the pressure-induced softening in the negative thermal expansion material Zn(CN)\(_2\) using neutron powder diffraction and molecular dynamics simulations. Both the simulation and experiment show that the pressure-induced softening only occurs above a minimum temperature and also weakens at high temperatures.
