Thermal Expansion and Volume Magnetostriction in Breathing Pyrochlore Magnets LiACr4X8 (A = Ga, In, X = O, S)

We report thermal expansion and magnetostriction in breathing pyrochlore magnets LiACr4X8 (A = Ga, In, X = O, S) measured by a dilatometric method on sintered samples. All four of these compounds s...
