Ultrahigh-Density Superhard Hexagonal BN and SiC with Quartz Topology from Crystal Chemistry and First Principles

Based on superdense C<sub>6</sub> with a quartz (<b>qtz</b>) topology, new ultrahigh-density hexagonal binary phases, <b>qtz</b> BN and <b>qtz</b> SiC, were identified via full geometry structure relaxations and ground state energies using calculations...
