Abstract
Rapid progress in modern technologies demands zero thermal expansion (ZTE) materials with multi-property profiles to withstand harsh service conditions. Thus far, the majority of documented ZTE materials have shortcomings in different aspects that limit their practical utilization. Here, we report on a superior isotropic ZTE alloy with collective properties regarding wide operating temperature windows, high strength-stiffness, and cyclic thermal stability. A boron-migration-mediated solid-state reaction (BMSR) constructs a salient "plum pudding" structure in a dual-phase Er-Fe-B alloy, where the precursor ErFe10 phase reacts with the migrated boron and transforms into the target Er2Fe14B (pudding) and α-Fe phases (plum). The formation of such microstructure helps to eliminate apparent crystallographic texture, tailor and form isotropic ZTE, and simultaneously enhance the strength and toughness of the alloy. These findings suggest a promising design paradigm for comprehensive performance ZTE alloys.

Abstract
Negative thermal expansion (NTE), referring to the lattice contraction upon heating, has been an attractive topic of solid-state chemistry and functional materials. The response of a lattice to the temperature field is deeply rooted in its structural features and is inseparable from the physical properties. For the past 30 years, great efforts have been made to search for NTE compounds and control NTE performance. The demands of different applications give rise to the prominent development of new NTE systems covering multifarious chemical substances and many preparation routes. Even so, the intelligent design of NTE structures and efficient tailoring for lattice thermal expansion are still challenging. However, the diverse chemical routes to synthesize target compounds with featured structures provide a large number of strategies to achieve the desirable NTE behaviors with related properties. The chemical diversity is reflected in the wide regulating scale, flexible ways of introduction, and abundant structure-function insights. It inspires the rapid growth of new functional NTE compounds and understanding of the physical origins. In this review, we provide a systematic overview of the recent progress of chemical diversity in the tailoring of NTE. The efficient control of lattice and deep structural deciphering are carefully discussed. This comprehensive summary and perspective for chemical diversity are helpful to promote the creation of functional zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) compounds and the practical utilization of NTE.
