The van der Waals class of materials offer an approach to two-dimensional magnetism as their spin fluctuations can be tuned upon exfoliation of layers. Moreover, it has recently been shown that spin-lattice coupling and long-range magnetic ordering can be modified with pressure in van der Waals materials. In this work, the magnetic properties of quasi two-dimensional CrBr₃ are reported applying hydrostatic pressure. The application of pressure up to 0.844 GPa shows a 1.77% decrease in saturation magnetization with a decrease in the Curie temperature from 33.05 to 30.41 K. Density functional theory calculations with pressure up to 1 GPa show a reduction in volume and interplanar distance as pressure increases. To further understand the magnetic properties with applied pressure, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) and exchange coupling parameter (J) are calculated. There is small decrease in MAE and the first nearest neighbor interaction (J₁) (U = 2.7 eV and J = 0.7 eV) is increasing with respect to increasing pressure. Overall, CrBr₃ displays ferromagnetic interlayer coupling and the calculated exchange coupling and MAE parameters match well with the observations from the experimental work.
