• CaXH3 (X = Mn, Fe, Co) perovskite‐type hydrides for hydrogen storage applications (2019, background): “According to Vicker's hardness test, these theoretical values are lower than the super hardness limit (40 GPa) and therefore, these compounds are relatively hard materials.(58) At this point, it would be worthwhile to compare calculated elastic constants with those of similar compounds.”
• Valence electron concentration as an indicator for mechanical properties in rocksalt structure nitrides, carbides and carbonitrides (2018, methodology): “5(b) is a plot of the Hardness H vs the VEC for carbonitrides and ternary nitrides, as determined from the calculated elastic tensor using Tian's model [73].”
