Origin of the colossal positive and negative thermal expansion in Ag(3)[Co(CN)(6)]: an ab initio density functional theory study

DFT calculations have been used to provide insights into the origin of the colossal positive and negative thermal expansion in Ag3[Co(CN) 6]. The results confirm that the positive expansion within the trigonal basal plane and the negative expansion in the orthogonal direction are coupled due to the...
