Simple superatom model for lattice dynamics of dodecaborides RB12 (R = Zr, Yb, Lu)

Anisotropy in elasticity, sound velocity, thermal conductivity, and thermodynamics properties of dodecaboride Zr0.5Y0.5B12

“…Compared with diamond and boron nitride superhard materials, MB 12 dodecaborides present high hardness, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Some physical properties, such as mechanical, thermal, magnetic, optical, and electronic properties, of MB12 have reported by experimental and theoretical researchers [5][6][7]. As one of the MB 12 dodecaborides, the elastic properties of ZrB 12 received special attention [5,8,9].…”
