Strain to alter the covalency and superconductivity in transition metal diborides

Abstract

Among layered metal diborides, MB2, only MgB2 is a superconductor. However, a strategically applied mechanical stress that removes metal–boron covalency can turn ScB2 into a superconductor with the same mechanism.
