Unidirectional thermal expansion in KZnB3O6: role of alkali metals

Abstract

The driving force of the unidirectional thermal expansion in KZnB3O6 has been studied experimentally and theoretically. Our results show that the low-energy vibrational modes of alkali metals play a crucial role in this unusual thermal behavior.
