oxidenitride
Oxidenitride refers to a class of materials that contain both oxide (O2−) and nitride (N3−) anions within a single crystal lattice or glass. These mixed-anion compounds, often called oxynitrides, can appear as ceramics, glasses, or thin films. The nitrogen component is typically incorporated by partial substitution for oxygen in an oxide framework, yielding new compositions and properties not found in simple oxides or nitrides alone.
Structural and chemical aspects
In oxidenitrides, the distribution of O and N can be ordered or disordered and may lead to
Oxidenitrides are typically prepared by high-temperature synthesis that introduces nitrogen sources, such as ammonia or nitrogen-containing
The presence of both O and N can widen or tune band gaps, affect dielectric behavior, and
