Abstract: A process for preparing a lithium-rich antiperovskite electrolyte film involves forming a composite target of precursor metal oxide(s) and metal halide(s), and exposing the target to a pulsed laser beam under conditions suitable for depositing a film of lithium-rich antiperovskite on a surface. In some embodiments the process is used to prepare a film of Li3OCl from a target largely composed of Li2O and LiCl. Exposure of the target to a pulsed laser beam deposits antiperovskite electrolyte Li3OCl on a substrate. In another embodiment, sputtering may be used to prepare films of lithium-rich antiperovskites using the composite target of precursor metal oxide(s) and metal halide(s).

Abstract: Uniformly dense, diamond-silicon carbide composites having high hardness, high fracture toughness, and high thermal stability are prepared by consolidating a powder mixture of diamond and amorphous silicon. A composite made at 5 GPa/1673K had a measured fracture toughness of 12 MPa·m1/2. By contrast, liquid infiltration of silicon into diamond powder at 5 GPa/1673K produces a composite with higher hardness but lower fracture toughness.

Abstract: Bulk, superhard, B—C—N nanocomposite compacts were prepared by ball milling a mixture of graphite and hexagonal boron nitride, encapsulating the ball-milled mixture at a pressure in a range of from about 15 GPa to about 25 GPa, and sintering the pressurized encapsulated ball-milled mixture at a temperature in a range of from about 1800-2500 K. The product bulk, superhard, nanocomposite compacts were well sintered compacts with nanocrystalline grains of at least one high-pressure phase of B—C—N surrounded by amorphous diamond-like carbon grain boundaries. The bulk compacts had a measured Vicker's hardness in a range of from about 41 GPa to about 68 GPa.
