Crystal structures and formation mechanisms of boron-rich tungsten borides

Journal Article Gu, Chao ; Liang, Yongcheng ; Zhou, Xuefeng ; ... - Physical Review B

Boron-rich tungsten borides tend to adopt mechanically unfavorable layered structures but experimentally exhibit excellent mechanical properties rivalling traditional superhard solids. Unravelling the contraindicated structure-property relationship, however, has been impeded by their structural ambiguities because of the difficulty in probing boron and atomic deficiency of these borides. Here, we study crystal structures of boron-rich tungsten borides WB_3+x and WB_2+x by neutron diffraction based on high-quality samples prepared by a high-pressure method, leading to definitive structural resolutions for both borides with unique compositions of WB_5.14 and WB_2.34. Combined with theoretical calculations, their structural stability is revealed to be closely related to atomicmore »« less

Design and global optimization of high-efficiency solar thermal systems with tungsten cermets

Journal Article Chester, David ; Bermel, Peter ; Joannopoulos, John D. ; ... - Optics Express

Solar thermal, thermoelectric, and thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems have high maximum theoretical efficiencies; experimental systems fall short because of losses by selective solar absorbers and TPV selective emitters. To improve these critical components, we study a class of materials known as cermets. While our approach is completely general, the most promising cermet candidate combines nanoparticles of silica and tungsten. We find that 4-layer silica-tungsten cermet selective solar absorbers can achieve thermal transfer efficiencies of 84.3% at 400 K, and 75.59% at 1000 K, exceeding comparable literature values. Three layer silica-tungsten cermets can also be used as selective emitters for InGaAsSb-based thermophotovoltaicmore »« less
