Тиск є високоефективним інструментом керування під час вивчення численних явищ, виявлених у родині матеріалів MPX3, де M — двовалентний перехідний метал, а X — сірка або селен. Використання тиску привертає до себе дедалі більшу увагу відтоді, як у 2016 році, тобто десять років тому, було опубліковано перше таке дослідження. У цій статті представлено огляд, що об’єднує ключові результати досліджень впливу тиску на структурні, магнітні, електронні та над¬провідні властивості цієї широкої родини матеріалів. Також визначено сфери, у яких тиск здатен стати вирішальним фактором у з’ясуванні фізичних механізмів, які досі залишаються незрозумілими.
