Structural stability and mechanism of compression of stoichiometric B13C2 up to 68GPa
Abstract Boron carbide is a ceramic material with unique properties widely used in numerous, including armor, applications. Its mechanical properties, mechanism of compression, and limits of stability are of both scientific and practical value. Here, we report the behavior of the stoichiometric boro...
