Ionic high-pressure form of elemental boron
Artem R. Oganov, Jiuhua Chen, Carlo Gatti +7
Boron is an element of fascinating chemical complexity. Controversies have shrouded this element since its discovery was announced in 1808: the new 'element' turned out to be a com…
Boron: a Hunt for Superhard Polymorphs
A. R. Oganov, V. L. Solozhenko
Boron is a unique element, being the only element, all known polymorphs of which are superhard, and all of its crystal structures are distinct from any other element. The electron-…
Comment on "Superhard Semiconducting Optically Transparent High Pressure Phase of Boron"
A. R. Oganov, V. L. Solozhenko, O. O. Kurakevych +5
This Comment points out a number of errors in the recent paper by Zarechnaya, Dubrovinskaia, Dubrovinsky, et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 185501 (2009)). Results and conclusions pres…
New high-pressure form of boron is significantly ionic
Artem R. Oganov, Jiuhua Chen, Carlo Gatti +7
The comment of Dubrovinskaia et al. is scientifically flawed. The high-pressure form of boron, discovered by Oganov et al., is indeed new and its bonding has a significant ionic ch…
