A conventional solid state reaction between ZrO2, SnO2 and WO3 was used to prepare the negative thermal expansion material Zr(1-x)SnxW2O8. The strong negative thermal expansion over a broad temperature range, which is well known for the pure zirconium tungstate compound, is also shown in this substi...
