High-throughput first-principles search for ceramic superlattices with improved ductility and fracture resistance

Nikola Koutna et al.

Summary: The study employs high-throughput density functional theory calculations to develop design guidelines for nanolaminates combining cubic transition metal nitride and/or carbide ceramics, identifying several top candidates for novel superlattice films. Key factors promoting interface-induced enhancement of hardness and/or fracture toughness include lattice parameter and shear modulus mismatch of the layer components.

Enhanced Hardness in Transition-Metal Monocarbides via Optimal Occupancy of Bonding Orbitals

Yongcheng Liang et al.

Summary: An efficient strategy for enhancing the hardness of transition-metal monocarbides (TMCs) by optimally filling the bonding orbitals of valence electrons has been reported. Newly developed W1-xRexC samples show significantly enhanced hardness compared to their parent phase (WC), making them the hardest TMCs for practical applications. The hardness enhancement can be rationalized by the balanced occupancy of bonding and antibonding states, offering a guide for the design of other hard and superhard compounds.

Stability, and electronic and optical properties of ternary nitride phases of MgSnN2: A first-principles study

B. B. Dumre et al.

Summary: The study of MgSnN2 using first-principles methods revealed that the disordered rocksalt phase shows thermodynamic metastability and potential as an absorber layer for solar cells, while the disordered wurtzite and orthorhombic phases could be utilized as window layers due to their larger band-gap values.
