Atomic structure and mechanical response of coincident stacking faults in boron suboxide

We report the atomic structure of coincident stacking faults (SFs) in superhard boron suboxide (B6O) by combining annular bright field scanning transmission electron microscopy and quantum mechanics (QM) simulations. Different from simple SFs, which only lead to the symmetry breaking, the coincident...
