Synthesis of metalloborophene nanoribbons on Cu(110)
Xiao-Ji Weng, Yi Zhu, Ying Xu +5
Metalloborophene, characterized by the presence of metal-centered boron wheels denoted as M\c{opyright}Bn, has garnered considerable attention in recent years due to its versatile…
Depositing boron on Cu(111): Borophene or boride?
Xiao-Ji Weng, Jie Bai, Jingyu Hou +7
Large-area single-crystal surface structures were successfully prepared on Cu(111) substrate with boron deposition, which is critical for prospective applications. However, the pro…
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…
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…
Temperature-dependent hardness of diamond-structured covalent materials
Xing Feng, Jianwei Xiao, Bin Wen +4
Understanding temperature-dependent hardness of covalent materials is not only of fundamental scientific interest, but also of crucial importance for technical applications. In thi…
