AbstractZero thermal expansion (ZTE) alloys with high mechanical response are crucial for their practical usage. Yet, unifying the ZTE behavior and mechanical response in one material is a grand obstacle, especially in multicomponent ZTE alloys. Herein, we report a near isotropic zero thermal expansion (αl = 1.10 × 10−6 K−1, 260–310 K) in the natural heterogeneous LaFe54Co3.5Si3.35 alloy, which exhibits a super-high toughness of 277.8 ± 14.7 J cm−3.

Remarkable enhancement of the photocatalytic performance in LaCrO3 through controlled chemical reduction process. Lijun He,   Jia Yang,   Wenbin Guo,   Yan Li,   Alberto José Fernández Carrión  and  Xiaojun Kuang   Abstract Controlled reduction process has been performed on LaCrO3 assisted by CaH2 at relatively low temperature (773 K) and the impact over the photocatalytic and magnetic properties is discussed.
