Copper Silicon Phosphide Crystal Description
Copper Silicon Phosphide Crystal exhibits a layered van der Waals (vdW) structure with easy exfoliation characteristics. Despite their layered nature, their fundamental properties remain largely unknown. They are predicted to behave as 2D metals and semimetals when thermally heated or exposed to laser treatment, which can also cause them to convert to a SiP layered phase. More fundamental studies are absolutely needed to establish their electronic, magnetic, and optical properties.
They may possess good thermal stability, beneficial for high-temperature applications. The combination of copper, silicon, and phosphorus can also result in a material with good mechanical strength.
