Journal Article
Proctor, J. E., Bhakhri, V., Hao, R., Prior, T. J., Scheler, T., Gregoryanz, E., Chhowalla, M., & Giulani, F. (2015). Stabilization of boron carbide via silicon doping. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 27(1), Article 015401. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-8984/27/1/015401

Boron carbide is one of the lightest and hardest ceramics, but its applications are limited by its poor stability against a partial phase separation into separate boron and carbon. Phase separation is observed under high non-hydrostatic stress (both... Read More about Stabilization of boron carbide via silicon doping.
