It is possible for Beryllium oxide （BeO） to have a cubic diamond structure although it normally has a hexagonal structure under ambient conditions. As the solution of cubic BN and diamond, the solid solution of cubic BeO- diamond or BeO-cBN-diamond can potentially be a kind of super-hard materials with designable hardness; and this solution has also been confirmed based on our preliminary first principles calculations. In addition, the nonstoichiometry of BeO could create a mobile carrier in the cubic BeO-C or BeO BN-C system and it might lead to a new type of semiconductor Be-diamond.
