Solving Strength-Toughness Dilemma in Superhard Transition-Metal Diborides via a Distinct Chemically Tuned Solid Solution Approach
{{output}}
Solid solution strengthening enhances hardness of metals by introducing solute atoms to create local distortions in base crystal lattice, which impedes dislocation motion and plastic deformation, leading to increased strength but reduced ductility and toughnes... ...
