Carbon-Deficient Titanium Carbide With Highly Enhanced Hardness
We report the synthesis of a polycrystalline specimen of TiC1−x under high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) conditions. The carbon vacancy, crystal structure, Vicker hardness, elastic constants, and bond features of the synthesized specimen were investigated. Though the specimens were synthesize...
