Abstract
The auxetic behavior in nanostructures has attracted considerable attention due to their wide potential applications. Due to the long-standing attribution of auxetic properties to the unique geometric structure of materials, the academic community's understanding of auxeticity is not profound. It is considered to have no access to tuning the auxeticity without phase transition. In this letter, an anomalous case is discovered where the auxetic transition is directly driven by the electronic correlation in Janus-Tetra-SiXY (JT-SiXY; X, Y = O, S, Se) lattice. The auxeticity is highly dependent on the electronic properties. Additionally, the auxeticity is significantly enhanced due to the Janus modification. The emerging auxetic transition effect and enhanced auxeticity would make JT-SiXY a promising candidate in two-dimensional nano-devices. Our study provides valuable clues and useful guidance for designing advanced auxetic materials.
期刊介绍:
Acta Materialia serves as a platform for publishing full-length, original papers and commissioned overviews that contribute to a profound understanding of the correlation between the processing, structure, and properties of inorganic materials. The journal seeks papers with high impact potential or those that significantly propel the field forward. The scope includes the atomic and molecular arrangements, chemical and electronic structures, and microstructure of materials, focusing on their mechanical or functional behavior across all length scales, including nanostructures.
