Ternary nitrides are of growing technological importance, with applications as semiconductors, catalysts, and magnetic materials; however, new synthetic tools are needed to advance materials discovery efforts. Here, we show that…
Ternary nitride materials hold promise for many optical, electronic, and refractory applications yet their preparation via solid-state synthesis remains challenging. Often, high pressures or reactive gasses are used to manipulate the…
Metal nitrides represent a large class of materials with extensive applications in optoelectronics, energy, and healthcare technologies. For example, GaN and related nitride semiconductors are key materials for solid-state lighting and…
Here we report the synthesis of metallic, ultraincompressible (bulk modulus $K_{0}$ = 428(10) GPa) and very hard (nanoindentation hardness 36.7(8) GPa) rhenium (V) nitride pernitride Re$_{2}$(N$_{2}$)N$_{2}$. While the empirical chemical…
High pressure chemistry is known to inspire the creation of unexpected new classes of compounds with exceptional properties. Here we report the synthesis at ~90 GPa of novel beryllium polynitrides, monoclinic and triclinic BeN4. The…
The pressure-induced transformation of diatomic nitrogen into non-molecular polymeric phases may produce potentially useful high-energy-density materials. We combine first-principles calculations with structure searching to predict a new…
Experimental synthesis of theoretically predicted materials with controlled elemental coordination environments can lead to realization of useful properties, such as facile ion transport or ferroelectric switching. Among such materials are…
The investigation of high-pressure chemical reaction dynamics has long been constrained by the absence of effective in-situ characterization methods. Here we performed the state-of-the-art synchrotron radiation in-situ X-ray imaging based…
Synthesis and research of the properties of boron nitride powders and BN powders with additives produced under effect of concentrated light in a flow of nitrogen in a xenon high-flux optical furnace are presented. A scanning and…
Studies of polynitrogen phases are of great interest for fundamental science and for the design of novel high energy density materials. Laser heating of pure nitrogen at 140 GPa in a diamond anvil cell led to the synthesis of a polymeric…
Aluminum nitride (AlN) is an extremely promising material for integrated photonics because of the combination of strong \c{hi}2 and \c{hi}3 nonlinearities. However, the intrinsic hardness of the material and charging effects during electron…
The nitrides of group III metals: AlN, GaN and InN are very important materials due to their applications for short wavelength opto-electronics (light-emitting diodes and laser diodes). It is essential for the realization of such novel…
In materials science, selecting the right synthesis technique for specific compounds is one of the most important steps. High-pressure conditions have a significant effect on the crystal growth processes, leading to the creation of unique…
Search of materials with C-N composition hold a great promise in creating materials which would rival diamond in hardness due to the very strong and relatively low-ionic C-N bond. Early experimental and theoretical works on C-N compounds…
Recent computational studies have predicted many new ternary nitrides, revealing synthetic opportunities in this underexplored phase space. However, synthesizing new ternary nitrides is difficult, in part because intermediate and product…
The nitridation of InP(1 0 0) surfaces has been studied using synchrotron radiation photoemission. The samples were chemically cleaned and then ion bombarded, which cleaned the surface and also induced the formation of metallic indium…
In contrast to carbon, which forms long polymeric chains, all-nitrogen chains are very unstable. Here we found that nitrogen and hydrogen directly react at room temperature and pressures of about 35 GPa forming a mixture of nitrogen…
Through a series of Raman spectroscopy studies, we investigate the behaviour of hydrogen-helium and hydrogen-nitrogen mixtures at high pressure across wide ranging concentrations. We find that there is no evidence of chemical association,…
We report the discovery of a new class of molecular phases of solid nitrogen at high pressures and temperatures by Raman and infrared spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction. Unlike the molecular phases consisting of disk- and sphere-like…
A new route to the sintering of MgB2 has been identified, based on a reactive infiltration of liquid Mg on a powdered B preform. The technique allows to obtain large bulk manufacts in an inexpensive way, without the need of high pressure…
