SPD drastically reduce the pressure required for PTs/CRs (by one-two orders of magnitude) and PT hysteresis; lead to hidden metastable phases, which cannot be obtained otherwise, and substitute reversible PTs/CRs with irreversible ones. This review includes breakthroughs in understanding multifaceted interactions between high-pressure PTs/CRs, SPD, and microstructure evolution from the viewpoint of advanced mechanics and thermodynamics of materials under stress and plastic strain tensors. A novel concept of plastic strain-induced PTs/CRs under high pressure is explored using four-scale theory and simulations (from atomistic to nano- and scale-free phase-field approaches to macroscale) coupled to in situ experiments in traditional and rotational diamond anvil cells, and their integration. Its development revealed various phenomena and misinterpretations, resolved numerous puzzles, found the first general rules in these fields, and suggested ways for economic defect-induced synthesis of high-pressure phases and nanostructures. Coupled analytical/computational/experimental approaches are developed for complete characterization of occurring processes and finding all heterogeneous scalar and tensorial fields. Various material classes (metals, ceramics, rocks, semiconductors, powders, etc.) are considered. Applications include high-pressure torsion, surface treatment (polishing, cutting, etc.), high-pressure mechanochemistry and tribology, PTs/CRs in shear bands leading to severe transformation/reaction-induced plasticity and self-blown-up processes, mechanisms of deep-focus earthquakes, the appearance of microdiamonds in low-pressure-temperature Earth crust, and the mechanochemical origin of life beyond Earth.

Since its first epitaxial synthesis on Ag(111), several reports have claimed the formation of borophene sheets through mechanical or liquid-phase “exfoliation” of bulk β-rhombohedral boron. These claims, if correct, would represent a breakthrough in fabricating non-van der Waals bidimensional materials. In this review, we have critically evaluated the available experimental evidence in the published data. In the first part of the article, the structure of β-Boron (β-B) and borophene has been described; the presence and potential role of defects in producing 2D materials via top-down synthesis have been then analyzed. In the second part, we have discussed how the absence of van der Waals gaps in β-B precludes true “exfoliation” and is inconsistent with the theoretical framework. The formation of nanostructures upon “exfoliation” is better explained as defect-mediated cleavage formation of nanoscale intrinsic van der Waals gaps boron fragments, often oxidized, rather than true borophene polymorphs (β₁₂, χ₃). Based on this analysis, we propose diagnostic criteria for identifying the phases obtained through top-down synthesis processes starting from β-B.
