Semimetal P-6m2-WP with high hardness and superconductivity
Transition metal W-P compounds with excellent mechanical and superconducting properties have attracted tremendous research interest. Herein, the mechanical, phonon, and superconducting properties of five W-P compounds are studied by first-principles and electron-phonon calculations. The phonon and elastic constants calculated results reveal that the five W-P compounds are dynamically and mechanically stable. Simultaneously, these compounds are elastic anisotropic. The Cmc21-WP2 has high hardness of 21.04 GPa, which is harder than W2C (15.5 GPa) [Int. J. Refract. Met. H. 2024, 123, 106,745]. Furthermore, the P-6 m2-WP not only has excellent mechanical properties with the larger stiffness and hardness (16.66 GPa), but also has superconducting critical temperature of 0.62 K mainly due to the low-frequency (below 6THz) acoustic phonon modes originated from the motion of W-5d atoms.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.
