Why is BeGeN$_2$ different? A computational bonding analysis

Materials Science 2024-10-29 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

Until recently, all known ordered II-IV-N2 materials crystallised in the β\beta-NaFeO2_2-type in space group Pna21_1. BeGeN2_2, however, crystallises in space group Pmc21_1, with a different cation ordering motif long anticipated for this materials class. Chemical bonding analysis is used to rationalise this particular behaviour.
