Machine-Learning Potentials Predict Orientation- and Mode-Dependent Fracture in Refractory Diborides

Shuyao Lin, Zhuo Chen, Rebecca Janknecht +5

Fracture toughness ($K_{\mathrm{Ic}}$) and fracture strength ($\ddot{I}{ƒ}_{\mathrm{f}}$) are key criteria in the selection and design of reliable ceramics. However, their experimental characte…
