Flexibility in MOFs: Do scalar and group-theoretical counting rules work? (2015)
Journal Article

© The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016. We investigate the ability of counting rules drafted from engineering to predict the flexibility or rigidity of bar-and-joint or body-and-joint assemblies representing metal organic frameworks. We show that whil... Read More about Flexibility in MOFs: Do scalar and group-theoretical counting rules work?.

A systematic typology for negative Poisson's ratio materials and the prediction of complete auxeticity in pure silica zeolite JST (2015)
Journal Article

© the Owner Societies 2015. Single crystals can commonly have negative Poisson's ratio in a few directions; however more generalised auxeticity is rarer. We propose a typology to distinguish auxetic materials. We characterise numerous single crystals...

Negative linear compressibility in common materials (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. Negative linear compressibility (NLC) is still considered an exotic property, only observed in a few obscure crystals. The vast majority of materials compress axially in all directions when loaded in hydrostatic compression... Read More about Negative linear compressibility in common materials.
