Article Synopsis
- Recent computational studies have identified new ternary nitrides, pointing to potential new materials, but synthesizing them is challenging due to high cohesive energies that slow down diffusion.
- The authors successfully synthesized two new phases, calcium zirconium nitride (CaZrN) and calcium hafnium nitride (CaHfN), through solid state metathesis reactions involving calcium nitride (CaN) and metal chlorides (Zr, Hf).
- It was found that a slight excess of CaN (about 20 mol %) is necessary to achieve the correct stoichiometry of CaN for producing the desired phases, as revealed by advanced synchrotron X-ray diffraction studies, which also helped explain the synthesis process compared to
