Friedel Oscillations are Limiting the Strength of Superhard Nanocomposites and Heterostructures
To obtain a deeper understanding of the mechanism of plastic deformation and failure in superhard nanocomposites and heterostructures we studied, by means of the ab initio density functional theory, the stress-strain response and the change of the electronic structure during tensile and shear deform...
