Abstract
Zero thermal expansion (ZTE) materials, which maintain a constant length despite temperature variations, are highly desirable for advanced industrial applications. This review highlights recent progress in exploring ZTE behavior in Fe-based Laves phases, La–Fe–Si(Al)-based alloys, and rare-earth-based systems exhibiting the magnetocaloric effect (MCE). The abnormal lattice expansion observed in giant magnetocaloric materials, driven by magnetic interactions, provides a natural foundation for designing ZTE materials. This review offers new insights into the design and discovery of novel ZTE materials within MCE systems. Furthermore, key properties such as mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, and cycling stability are also discussed, paving the way for ZTE advancements in functional materials.
