In this work, we show that a SrNi2P2 micropillar exhibits pseudoelasticity with a large maximum recoverable strain of ~14% under uniaxial compression via unique reversible structural transformation, double lattice collapse-expansion that is repeatable under cyclic loading. Its high yield strength (~3.8±0.5 GPa) and large maximum recoverable strain bring out the ultrahigh modulus of resilience (~146±19MJ/m3) a few orders of magnitude higher than that of most engineering materials. The double lattice collapse-expansion mechanism shows stress-strain behaviors similar with that of conventional shape memory alloys, such as hysteresis and thermo-mechanical actuation, even though the structural changes involved are completely different. Our work suggests that the discovery of a new class of high performance ThCr2Si2-structured materials will open new research opportunities in the field of pseudoelasticity KW - SrNi2P2 KW - micropillar compression KW - pseudoelasticity KW - maximum recoverable strain KW - density functional theory Y1 - 2021 UR - http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/82451 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hebis:30:3-824519 UR - https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.11999v1 IS - 2108.11999 Version 1 PB - arXiv ER -
