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…
Negative linear compressibility and unusual dynamic behaviors of NaB3
Xin-Ling He, Shu-Ning Pan, Yue Chen +7
First-principles calculations reveal that sodium boride (NaB3) undergoes a phase transition from a tetragonal P4/mbm phase to an orthorhombic Pbam phase at about 16 GPa, accompanie…
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…
Three metallic BN polymorphs: 1D multi-threaded conduction in 3D network
Mei Xiong, Zhibin Gao, Kun Luo +6
In this paper, three novel metallic sp2/sp3 -hybridized Boron Nitride (BN) polymorphs are proposed by first-principles calculations. One of them, named as tP-BN, is predicted based…
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…
