Abstract

AbstractThermal expansion of materials is a comparatively easy‐understood physical property. Prussian blue analogues are of particular interest in engineering as new zero thermal expansion materials. We investigated the thermal expansion in K0.46Co1.27[Fe(CN)6]·5.5H2O by x‐ray powder diffraction. This compound is a good example of a zero thermal expansion material. The origin of zero thermal expansion is considered to be the low frequency transverse vibrational motion of the cyano bridges.
