Superhard Pseudocubic BC2N superlattices.
It is currently under debate whether diamondlike BC2N may be harder than cubic BN (c-BN). Using the bond counting rule, we have performed an unconstrained search and identified a series of short period (111) superlattices that have much lower total energy than previously proposed structures. By examining the ideal strength of these pseudocubic boron-carbonitrides, we show that they are harder t...
متن کاملRhombohedral superhard structure of BC2N
Ab initio evolutionary algorithm was employed to resolve the crystal structure of the observed superhard BC2N. We uncovered two polymorphs with rhombohedral 2 f.u./cell and orthorhombic 2 f.u./cell symmetries, with which the experimental x-ray diffraction pattern is well reproduced. Analysis of the total energy results and the simulated energy-loss near-edge spectroscopy suggests that the rhomb...
متن کاملTungsten tetraboride, an inexpensive superhard material.
Tungsten tetraboride (WB(4)) is an interesting candidate as a less expensive member of the growing group of superhard transition metal borides. WB(4) was successfully synthesized by arc melting from the elements. Characterization using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) indicates that the as-synthesized material is phase pure. The zero-pressure bulk mo...
متن کاملHighP–TNano-Mechanics of Polycrystalline Nickel
We have conducted highP-Tsynchrotron X-ray and time-of-flight neutron diffraction experiments as well as indentation measurements to study equation of state, constitutive properties, and hardness of nanocrystalline and bulk nickel. Our lattice volume-pressure data present a clear evidence of elastic softening in nanocrystalline Ni as compared with the bulk nickel. We show that the enhanced over...
