Structural and mechanical properties of B12-based orthorhombic metal carboborides are studied on the basis of first principle DFT approach. The simulations predict the existence of a new family of phases of the composition MeC2B12 (Me=Mg,…
First principle DFT simulations are employed to study structural and mechanical properties of orthorhombic B12-based metal carbide-borides. The simulations predict the existence of Ca- and Sr- based phases with the structure similar to that…
Stable compounds in the V-N system are systematically searched and four new high-pressure phases are found, including C2/m-V$_9$N, Pbam-V$_5$N$_2$, Pnma-V$_2$N and I4/mcm-VN$_2$. V$_2$N undergoes a phase transition from…

The Vickers hardness of polycrystalline {\gamma}-B was measured using a diamond indentation method. The elastic properties of polycrystalline {\gamma}-B (B=213.9 GPa, G=227.2 GPa, and E=503.3 GPa) were determined using ultrasonic…
By electron and X-ray diffraction we establish that the CrB$_4$ compound discovered over 40 years ago crystallizes in the $oP10$ (\emph{Pnnm}) structure, in disagreement with previous experiments but in agreement with a recent…
The elastic properties of the $B_1$-structured transition-metal nitrides and their carbide counterparts are studied using the {\it ab initio\} density functional perturbation theory. The linear response results of elastic constants are in…
The complex crystal chemistry of elemental boron has led to numerous proposed structures with distinctive motifs as well as contradictory findings. Herein, evolutionary structure searches performed at 100 GPa have uncovered a series of…

A recent experimental study reported the successful synthesis of an orthorhombic FeB4 with a high hardness of 62 GPa, which has reignited extensive interests on whether transition metal borides (TRBs) compounds will become superhard…
Two-dimensional systems have strengthened their position as one of the key materials for novel applications. Very recently, boron joined the distinguished group of elements that are confirmed to possess 2D allotropes, named borophenes. In…
A number of successful theoretical models of hardness have been developed recently. A thermodynamic model of hardness, which supposes the intrinsic character of correlation between hardness and thermodynamic properties of solids, allows one…
