Computational Predictions and Microwave Plasma Synthesis of Superhard Boron-Carbon Materials

Computational Predictions and Microwave Plasma Synthesis of Superhard Boron-Carbon Materials

Superhard boron-carbon materials are of prime interest due to their non-oxidizing properties at high temperatures compared to diamond-based materials and their non-reactivity with ferrous metals under extreme conditions. In this work, evolutionary algorithms combined with density functional theory h...
