This equation has been obtained through the linear relations proposed for microhardness and bulk modulus in terms of bond hardness. Estimated values of B for group- IV, IV-IV, II-VI and III-V semiconductors are in closer agreement with the experimental and reported values. Microhardness of Sn, SiC, GeC, SnC, SiGe, SiSn, GeSn, BSb and CdO has been reported for the first time.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>(semiconductors; structural properties; microhardness; bulk modulus.)</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://ijesm.co.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=5627&title=Bond Hardness and Mechanical Properties of ANB8-N Semiconductors and their Alloys</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
