Abstract

van der Waals(vdW)semiconductors have gained significant attention due to their unique physical properties and promising applications,which are embedded within distinct crystallographic symmetries.Here,we report a pressure-induced crystalline-amorphization-recrystallization transition under compression in binary vdW semiconductor SiP.Upon compression to 52 GPa,bulk SiP undergoes a consecutive phase transition from pristine crystalline to amorphous phase,ultimately to recrystallized phase.By employing synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments in conjunction with high-pressure crystal structure searching techniques,we reveal that the recrystallized SiP hosts a tetragonal structure(space group 14mm)and further transforms partially into a cubic phase(space group Fm(3)m).Consistently,electrical transport and alternating-current magnetic susceptibility mea-surements indicate the presence of three superconducting phases,which are embedded in separate crystallographic symmetries-the amorphous,tetragonal,and cubic structures.Furthermore,a high superconducting transition temperature of 12.3 K is observed in its recovered tetragonal phase during decompression.Our findings uncover a novel phase evolution path and elucidate a pressure-engineered structure-property relationship in vdW semiconductor SiP.These results not only offer a new platform to explore the transformation between different structures and functionalities,but also provide new opportunities for the design and exploration of advanced devices based on vdW materials.
