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.

Equation of state and high-pressure/high-temperature phase diagram of magnesium (2014)
Journal Article
Stinton, G., Macleod, S., Cynn, H., Errandonea, D., Evans, W., Proctor, J., …McMahon, M. (2014). Equation of state and high-pressure/high-temperature phase diagram of magnesium. Physical review B: Condensed matter and materials physics, 90(13), 134105-134105. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.90.134105

The phase diagram of magnesium has been investigated to 211 GPa at 300 K, and to 105 GPa at 4500 K, by using a combination of x-ray diffraction and resistive and laser heating. The ambient pressure hcp structure is found to start transforming to the... Read More about Equation of state and high-pressure/high-temperature phase diagram of magnesium.
