Ultrahard and super-stable pure aluminum with Schwarz crystal structure

ABSTRACTRefining grains to sub-10 nm size is extremely difficult in pure aluminum due to its high stacking fault energy and low melting point. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate that Schwarz crystal (SC) structure with minimal interfaces constrained by coherent twin boundaries was induced in extr...
