Rational design of materials with extreme negative compressibility: selective soft-mode frustration in KMn[Ag(CN)2]3.
We show that KMn[Ag(CN)(2)](3) exhibits the strongest negative linear compressibility (NLC) effect over the largest pressure range yet observed. Variable pressure neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal that its crystal lattice expands along the c axis of its trigonal cell under increasing hy...
