Abstract

The equation of state (EOS) of Li3N has been determined by energy-dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXD) using synchrotron radiation up to 35 GPa at ambient temperature. Both the hexagonal D6h4(P63/mmc) and the hexagonal D6h1(P6/mmm) phases were present at ambient pressure. The D6h1 -structure completely transforms into the D6h4 -structure at modest pressure. The change in Gibb's free energy as a function of pressure for Li3N was calculated using the experimental EOS.
