A hunt for ultrahard materials
Vladimir L. Solozhenko, Yann Le Godec
Recent results on search (theoretical prediction, high-pressure synthesis, etc.) for novel superhard and ultrahard materials are briefly reviewed.
Discovery of new boron-rich chalcogenides: orthorhombic B6X (X = S, Se)
Kirill A. Cherednichenko, Vladimir A. Mukhanov, Zhenhai Wang +4
New boron-rich sulfide B6S and selenide B6Se have been discovered from high pressure - high temperature synthesis combined with ab initio evolutionary crystal structure prediction,…
Thermoelastic equation of state and melting of Mg metal at high pressure and high temperature
Alexandre Courac, Yann Le Godec, Vladimir L. Solozhenko +2
The p-V-T equation of state of magnesium metal has been measured up to 20 GPa and 1500 K using both multianvil and opposite anvil techniques combined with synchrotron X-ray diffrac…
Thermal expansion of α-boron and some boron-rich pnictides
Kirill A. Cherednichenko, Vladimir L. Solozhenko
Thermal expansion of α-rhombohedral boron (α-B12) and two isostructural boron-rich pnictides (B12P2 and B12As2) has been studied between 298 and 1280 K by high-temperature synchrot…
Mechanical properties of ultra-hard nanocrystalline cubic boron nitride
Vladimir L. Solozhenko, Volodymyr Bushlya, Jinming Zhou
Nanostructure and mechanical properties of bulk nanocristalline cubic boron nitride have been studied by transmission electron microscopy, and micro- and nanoindentation. The obtai…
High-pressure synthesis of superhard and ultrahard materials
Yann Le Godec, Alexandre Courac, Vladimir L. Solozhenko
A brief overview on high-pressure synthesis of superhard and ultrahard materials is presented in this tutorial paper. Modern high-pressure chemistry represents a vast exciting area…
