Phase Transitions in Boron Carbide. [PDF]

Materials (Basel), 2023
The idealized rhombohedral unit cell of boron carbide is formed by a 12-atom icosahedron and a 3-atom linear chain. Phase transitions are second order and caused by the exchange of B and C sites or by vacancies in the structure. Nevertheless, the impact of such minimal structural changes on the properties can be significant.

Breaking the icosahedra in boron carbide. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016
Significance The extraordinary hardness of boron compounds is related to their internal structure, which is comprised of 12-atom icosahedra arranged in crystalline lattices. In these hierarchical materials, the icosahedra are easy to image with EM, but individual atoms are not.
