Materials potentially harder than diamond : quenchable high-pressure phases of transition metal dioxides

Findings are presented from pressure-volume relationships obtained by angle-dispersive x-ray powder diffraction on the high-pressure phases of RuO sub 2 and HfO sub 2 . The results indicate that both are significantly stiffer than cubic boron nitride and are as stiff or stiffer than diamond. It is t...
