A novel superhard phase of TiB3 predicted by first-principles calculation

A novel superhard structure of TiB3 is predicted and its phase transitions, mechanical properties and electronic structure up to 200 GPa are studied employing first-principles calculation. We propose a new structure by substituting the highly stable Amm2 structure with excellent mechanical propertie...
