The negative thermal expansion (NTE) and structural evolution of antiperovskite compounds Mn3Ga1−xGexN (0 ≤x≤ 1.0) were systematically investigated. Our results indicate the crystal structure of Mn3Ga1−xGexN changes from cubic (C) to tetragonal (T4) with increasing Ge content by X‐ray diffraction (XRD).The negative thermal expansion fromx =0 (operation‐temperature range ▵T= 20 K) tox= 0.4 (▵T= 60 K) becomes broad and shifts to higher temperature, and then it became positive fromx= 0.5 in Mn3Ga1−xGexN. Typically, Mn3Ga0.5Ge0.5N shows low thermal expansion behavior between 300 and 450 K (∆T= 150 K), and thermal expansion coefficient α is estimated to be 2 × 10−6K−1. Furthermore, variable temperature XRD was measured to reveal the origin of NTE. The cubic I ‐ cubic II phases coexistence (x= 0.2) and cubic I ‐ tetragonal coexistence (x= 0.5, 0.6) was observed at low temperature. The tunable NTE is highly valuable for practical applications in precision devices.
