Understanding why the thinnest SiNx interface in transition-metal nitrides is stronger than the ideal bulk crystal
One-monolayer-thick SiNx interfacial layer in superhard nanocomposites, consisting of 3–4 nm size TiN nanocrystals joined by that layer, is stronger than a bulk SiNx crystal due to valence charge transfer from the metallic TiN, thus providing the nanocomposites with significant hardness enhancement....
