Unrevealing hardening and strengthening mechanisms in high-entropy ceramics from lattice distortion
Yiwen Liu, Haifeng Tang, Mengdong Ma +3
Revealing the hardening and strengthening mechanisms is crucial for facilitating the design of superhard and high-strength high-entropy ceramics (HECs). Here, we take high-entropy…
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…
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…
Superhard and Superconducting B6C
Kang Xia, Mengdong Ma, Cong Liu +7
Crystal structure searching and ab initio calculations have been used here to explore low-energy structures of boron carbides under high pressure. Under pressures of 85-110 GPa, a…
