\(\left| {C_{TE} /\kappa} \right|\) versus \(\left( {E/\rho} \right)\) map of several candidate materials for CCM at room temperature, where CCZ-EX® is CLEARCERAM™-Z-EX (OHARA Inc.), ZPF-2 % is zero expansion stiffness ceramics (personnel communication with Nihon Ceratec Co. Ltd.), HS-SiC is high-strength reaction-sintered SiC (Suyama et al. 2003), ULE® is ultra-low expansion glass (Corning Inc.), and Zerodur® is zero expansion glass ceramic’ (SHOTT AG). Si and CCZ-EX® are selected for further investigation
