Abstract
First-principles calculations have been performed to study the structure, elastic and lattice dynamical properties of C40 XSi2(X=Cr, Mo, W) under hydrostatic pressure. The obtained structural parameters are in line with existing experimental and theoretical data. The evolutions of fundamental bandgap energies, elastic moduli, IR absorption spectra with pressure have been investigated in detail. Our results indicate that the energy gaps of XSi2(X=Cr, Mo, W) show different trends as the pressure increases. Larger BH/GHratio and Poisson’s ratio are achieved with pressure, suggesting an improved ductility for XSi2(X=Cr, Mo, W). Moreover, a large elastic anisotropy under pressure is exhibited in Young’s anisotropic factors. The infrared-active phonon frequencies exhibit substantial blueshifts under pressure.
