Colossal pressure-induced softening in scandium fluoride
英文摘要：
The counter-intuitive phenomenon of pressure-induced softening in materials is likely to be caused by the same dynamical behaviour that produces negative thermal expansion. Through a combination of molecular dynamics simulation on an idealised model and neutron diffraction at variable temperature and pressure, we show the existence of extraordinary and unprecedented pressure-induced softening in the negative thermal expansion material scandium fluoride, ScF$_3$, with values of the pressure-derivative of the bulk modulus $B$, $B^\prime = \partial B / \partial P$, reaching as low as $-40 \pm 1$.
