Thermodynamic aspects of materials' hardness: prediction of novel superhard high-pressure phases
Vladimir A. Mukhanov, Oleksandr O. Kurakevych, Vladimir L. Solozhenko
In the present work we have proposed the method that allows one to easily estimate hardness and bulk modulus of known or hypothetical solid phases from the data on Gibbs energy of…
On the hardness of boron (III) oxide
V. A. Mukhanov, O. O. Kurakevych, V. L. Solozhenko
Our findings show that the hardness of glass-like B2O3 is of about 1.5 GPa, while the hardness of the high-pressure phase is higher by a factor of 10 (16(5) GPa) and comparable wit…
Thermodynamic model of hardness: Particular case of boron-rich solids
V. A. Mukhanov, O. O. Kurakevych, V. L. Solozhenko
A number of successful theoretical models of hardness have been developed recently. A thermodynamic model of hardness, which supposes the intrinsic character of correlation between…
