Ultrahard boron-rich TANTALUM BORIDE (cas 12007-07-7): Monoclinic TaB4

Add time:07/27/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

On the basis of the evolutionary methodology for crystal structure prediction, we have revealed a novel monoclinic C2/m structure TaB4 with planar six-membered ring boron network along the crystallographic b axis. We name it as m-TaB4. The calculations of elastic constants and phonon dispersion confirm that m-TaB4 is mechanical and dynamical stable. Further calculations predicate that this structure is an ultrahard material with a large hardness (29 GPa). The presence of strong covalent boron–boron bonds and planar six-membered ring boron network in m-TaB4 are crucial for its high hardness.
