NdB6 ceramic nanoparticles: First principles calculations, mechanochemical synthesis and strain engineering

Borides are usually hard and brittle materials; however, we report the synthesis of superplastic nanostructured NdB6 ceramic powders, counter to the conventional wisdom that borides are always brittle. We investigate that through strain engineering, NdB6 can be made extremely ductile if the lattice...
