title: A phenomenological expression to describe the temperature dependence of pressure-induced softening in negative thermal expansion materials.
abstract: By exploring a simple model of a negative thermal expansion (NTE) system, we introduce a phenomenological expression to describe the temperature dependence of the pressure-induced softening in NTE structures.
