title: "NTE anisotropy: axis-level contraction is normal, volume-level is rare"
description: "Two-panel figure from the COD multi-temperature harvest: (a) distribution of significantly contracting crystallographic axes among all 3,264 multi-T series vs the 197 confident volumetric-NTE series; (b) the 18 series that contract on all three axes, labeled by material/mechanism."
