Owing to superior properties, ie high hardness, high wear resistance, and weight reduction
of transparent ceramics (TCs) over glasses, TCs have shown promising tribological potential …

Pure diamond powder and mixed powder of diamond and sodium chloride were treated at
high pressures (5 GPa and 10 GPa) and high temperatures (1000–2700° C), and then the …

Exploring the factors affecting the wear resistance of superhard materials is interesting and
has practical industrial applications. Characterizing the hardness and grain size of …

Rapid advancements in machine-learning methods have led to the emergence of machine-
learning-based interatomic potentials as a new cutting-edge tool for simulating large …

Investigating melting curve of diamond is a challenging task both from experimental and

Cubic boron nitride and hexagonal boron nitride are the two predominant crystalline
structures of boron nitride. They can interconvert under varying pressure and temperature …

The phase behavior of carbon at high pressure and the search for carbon structures denser
than diamond has been explored for decades showing large discrepancies, with many …

This research is carried out to characterize the mechanical behavior of boron nitride
nanocones (BNNCs) via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the Large-scale …

Diamond, cubic BN (c-BN), and cubic B–C–N compounds, ie, c-BCXN, are well-known
ultrahard materials. While cubic phases of these materials are relatively stable and have …

Polycrystalline diamond composites (PDC) have been used as a cutting material in a
multitude of fields, from mechanical processing to oil and gas drilling. In this study, PDC …
