Zusammenfassung:Ultrahard materials are used in many applications, from cutting and polishing tools to wear-resistant coatings. In thinking about new ultrahard materials, it is useful to consider the types of structural changes that a material can undergo under load. Kraner et al discuss efforts to design superhard materials that can be divided into two main approaches.
