Peculiar structure and tensile strength of WB4: nonstoichiometric origin
Tungsten tetraboride (WB4) is experimentally considered as potentially superhard material and is therefore expected to have highly structural stability and enhanced resistance against plastic deformation and failure. The examinations of bond-deformation mechanism suggest a significantly soft bond-de...
