Popis: Designing negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials with a larger NTE coefficient and a wider temperature window is a great challenge nowadays, leading to the limitation of existing NTE materials such that only about 150 kinds of NTE materials have been discovered since 1996. Here, using first-principles calculations combined with the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA), we find that the synergistic effect of different vibrational modes can significantly enhance the NTE in open framework compounds. We systematically investigate the NTE properties of the M
