Fig. 2

a Stress and b Strain distribution in LiBO2 structure, respectively, by finite element analysis. c, d Pressure-induced modification of bond lengths and bond angles responsible for ZLC and NLC. e Schematic for the ZLC behavior. f Schematic for the NLC behavior. g Schematic for the mechanism of the pressure-responding behaviors originated from the CGL structure. The [BO2]∞ chains are represented by gray bars and the [LiO3] bases are represented by blue corrugations.
