Narrow-gap Semiconducting Superhard Amorphous Carbon with Superior Toughness
Shuangshuang Zhang, Yingju Wu, Kun Luo +18
New carbon forms exhibiting extraordinary physico-chemical properties can be generated from nanostructured precursors under extreme pressure. Nevertheless, synthesis of such fascin…
Discovery of carbon-based strongest and hardest amorphous material
Shuangshuang Zhang, Zihe Li, Kun Luo +22
Carbon is likely the most fascinating element of the periodic table because of the diversity of its allotropes stemming from its variable (sp, sp2, and sp3) bonding motifs. Explora…
Direct Observation of Room-Temperature Dislocation Plasticity in Diamond
Anmin Nie, Yeqiang Bu, Junquan Huang +10
It is well known that diamond does not deform plastically at room temperature and usually fails in catastrophic brittle fracture. Here we demonstrate room-temperature dislocation p…
Phase Transition of Na3SbS4 Superionic Conductor and Its Impact on Ion Transport
Dechao Zhang, Xiaoting Cao, Di Xu +7
In this work, a comprehensive research coupling experiment and computation has been performed to understand the phase transition of Na3SbS4 and to synthesize cubic Na3SbS4 (c-Na3Sb…
Coexistence of multiple metastable polytypes in rhombohedral bismuth
Yu Shu, Wentao Hu, Zhongyuan Liu +7
Derivative structural polytypes coexisting with the rhombohedral A7 structure of elemental bismuth (Bi) have been discovered at ambient condition, based on microstructure analyses…
