Abstract

Zero thermal expansion (ZTE) alloys are dimensionally stable under the influence of heat, which is critical in high-precision components but remains rare among single phase materials. This work reports a single phase and nearly isotropic ZTE alloy (Hf_0.8Nb_0.2)Fe_2.5 over a wide temperature range of 5–460 K (α_l ≈1.07 × 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹) via non-stoichiometric regulation. The introduction of excess Fe breaks the dual-phase nature of parent alloy, extends the magnetic ordering temperature, and induces a spin reorientation. The evolution of magnetic structure versus temperature gives rise to the ZTE behavior. The design concept of changing the internal magnetic interaction through non-stoichiometric regulation provides support for the discovery of novel ZTE materials.
