"Boron carbide is a superhard and lightweight ceramic material. As a result of these characteristics, it used as a protective component in bulletproof vests, tank armour and also has many other industrial applications (e.g., tooling, abrasives). Research on boron carbide remains active given a long-standing challenge to understand its complex failure behavior in extreme environments owing to its unique microstructure and mechanical properties, where many current efforts are underway to improve its behavior through microstructure alteration via additives that form secondary phases, chemical doping, and altering the chemical composition of the boron-to-carbon ratio in the crystal structure. This book covers some of the key challenges involving boron carbide that are currently being studied by many materials scientists and ceramists. The authors who are active in this research field have prepared the chapters for this book and specific topics covered highlight the state-of-the art research in structure, processing, properties and applications. The organization of the book is designed to provide an easy understanding for students and professionals interested in advanced material for novel applications"--

This thesis explores computational methods for predicting novel stable MAB phases, which are boron-based materials with unique properties such as extreme hardness and high melting points. Utilizing theoretical models like density functional theory, the research aims to guide the synthesis of new materials by predicting stable structures. The work focuses on ternary boron compounds, examining compositions such as Hf2InB2, Zr2InB2, and Mo4AlB4. The study employs techniques like cluster expansion and crystal structure prediction to efficiently explore material phase spaces, demonstrating a method for predicting low-energy structures. The intended audience includes materials scientists and researchers in material design and engineering.
