TL;DR: Comparison of boron carbide Ramen spectra with the Raman spectra of {alpha}-rhombohedralboron, borons phosphide, and bor on arsenide has confirmed the following structural model derived from theoretical considerations and electrical and thermal transport data.
Abstract: We have obtained and analyzed Raman spectra of single-crystal, hot-pressed, and chemical-vapor-deposited boron carbide materials over their single-phase region (from {similar to}9 to {similar to}20 at. % carbon). These spectra provide insight into the substitutional disorder that characterizes these structurally ordered solids. In particular, although icosahedra and chain structures occupy regular lattice positions, there is local substitutional disorder resulting from the occupancy of certain sites within the icosahedra and chains by either boron or carbon atoms. Comparison of boron carbide Raman spectra with the Raman spectra of {alpha}-rhombohedral boron, boron phosphide, and boron arsenide has confirmed the following structural model derived from theoretical considerations and electrical and thermal transport data. The boron carbide composition with nearly 20 at. % carbon is composed of B{sub 11}C icosahedra linked by carbon-boron-carbon chains. As the carbon content is reduced toward approximately 13 at. %, carbon-boron-carbon chains are progressively replaced by carbon-boron-boron chains. Further reduction in the carbon content results in the replacement of B{sub 11}C icosahedra with B{sub 12} icosahedra.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the growth process of Beta-silicon carbide whiskers along with a general explanantion of the effects of major growth parameters on whisker growth morphology.
Abstract: Beta-silicon carbide whiskers are being grown by a vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) process which produces a very high purity, high strength single crystal fibre about 6μm in diameter and 5–100 mm long. Details of the growth process are given along with a general explanantion of the effects of the major growth parameters on whisker growth morphology.

TL;DR: In this article, the initiation of fracture in the microstructure at room temperature was observed in tension, compression and torsion, and cracks formed in the carbide particles in a direction normal to the tensile strain imposed upon the particles by the deforming matrix.

TL;DR: The results presented herein show that transition-metal carbide are promising co-catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production.
Abstract: Hydrogen production through facile photocatalytic water splitting is regarded as a promising strategy to solve global energy problems. Transition-metal carbides (MXenes) have recently drawn attention as potential co-catalyst candidates for photocatalysts. Here, we report niobium pentoxide/carbon/niobium carbide (MXene) hybrid materials (Nb2 O5 /C/Nb2 C) as photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution from water splitting. The Nb2 O5 /C/Nb2 C composites were synthesized by one-step CO2 oxidation of Nb2 CTx . Nb2 O5 grew homogeneously on Nb2 C after mild oxidation, during which some amorphous carbon was also formed. With an optimized oxidation time of 1.0 h, Nb2 O5 /C/Nb2 C showed the highest hydrogen generation rate (7.81 μmol h-1 gcat-1 ), a value that was four times higher than that of pure Nb2 O5 . The enhanced performance of Nb2 O5 /C/Nb2 C was attributed to intimate contact between Nb2 O5 and conductive Nb2 C and the separation of photogenerated charge carriers at the Nb2 O5 /Nb2 C interface; the results presented herein show that transition-metal carbide are promising co-catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen production.
