| Abstract
|
| Recently, the XSi2Y4(X = V, Mo, W; Y = N, As) family has emerged as a new class of 2D van der Waals materials. In this work, we employs first-principles calculations based on density functional high-pressure conditions. The results demonstrate that the XSi2Y4 material exhibits superior comprehensive mechanical performance under high pressure compared to its low-pressure counterpart, showing significantly enhanced rigidity and stability in both axial and shear directions, along with improved hardness. Pressure-induced modifications in electronic properties induce a transition from semiconducting behavior at low pressure to semi-metallic or metallic states under high pressure. This comprehensive investigation not only elucidates the exceptional physical properties of XSi2Y4 materials but also provides theoretical foundations for understanding their high-pressure behavior. The findings reveal promising application potential as novel multifunctional two-dimensional materials in high-strength nanoelectronic devices, ultra-hard coatings, and optoelectronic systems. Importantly, the research outcomes offer universal guiding implications for designing two-dimensional material systems, advancing the development of pressure-engineered functional materials. |
