Two B2CO phases (oP8’ with sp2-sp3 hybridization coexist and mP16 with unitary sp3 hybridization) were discovered via structure searching and stability analysis. The study of formation enthalpy reveals that high pressure (HP) technology performed maybe an important method for synthesis. Among all isoelectronic with diamond (IED) B-C-O phases, oP8’ has the smallest gap and mP16 has the widest gap. With pressure increasing, for B2CO phases with high symmetry and composed of sp3 hybridization, their band gaps all increases monotonically; for B2CO phases composed by sp3-sp2 hybridization coexist or with low symmetry like mP16, their band gaps increased first and then decreased. oP8’ and mP16 both have large mechanical modulus and they are typical materials with high hardness. Pressure has a positive correlation with its mechanical modulus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
