Predicting Hardness Of Dense C3n4 Polymorphs
APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS(2006)
Abstract
We report the calculations of the Vickers hardness of five predicted C3N4 polymorphs by using the microscopic model of hardness. The hardest phase, cubic C3N4, has the hardness of 92.0 GPa, softer than diamond, although its modulus is higher than that of diamond. The densest phase, cubic spinel C3N4, has the lowest hardness of 62.3 GPa in the five polymorphs. Our analysis suggests that the hardness of simple-structured covalent materials might not exceed that of diamond. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
