Phonon dynamics in the layered negative thermal expansion compounds CuxNi2−x(CN)4

This study explores the relationship between phonon dynamics and negative thermal expansion (NTE) in CuxNi2−x (CN)4. The partial replacement of nickel (II) by copper (II) in Ni(CN)2 leads to a line phase, CuNi(CN)4 (x = 1), and a solid solution, CuxNi2−x (CN)4 (0 x 0.5). CuNi(CN)4 adopts a layered...
