New Metal Nitride Compounds: Can they be Synthesized at High-Pressures?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
We apply our procedure of including nitrogen fugacity into thermochemical calculations to compute phase diagrams in the rhenium-nitrogen and ruthenium-nitrogen systems. The combination of first-principle and thermochemical calculations let us predict the sequential nitridation of Re at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions. At 3000 K, Re will react with nitrogen at about 32 GPa yielding ReN. Formation of ReN2 with CoSb2-type structure is predicted for pressures exceeding 50 GPa at this temperature. The recently proposed marcasite-type RuN2 will be attainable at 3000 K at pressures above 30 GPa from a mixture of Ru and RuN2.
