• Microscopic theory of hardness and design of novel superhard crystals (2012, background): “Similar with the ionicity contribution to hardness [34], the screening effect of the metallic component may be phenomenologically described by introducing another correction factor of exp(−βfm ), where β and n are constants.”
• Size dependence of nanostructures: Impact of bond order deficiency (2007, background): “[227] proposed a formula based on the concept of ionicity to predict the hardness of several compounds.”
