Siliconcarbonnitrogen, often abbreviated as SiCN, refers to a class of ceramic materials composed of the elements silicon, carbon, and nitrogen. These materials exist in various forms, including amorphous solids and crystalline structures, depending on their synthesis conditions and stoichiometry. The properties of SiCN materials are highly tunable, making them attractive for a wide range of applications.
SiCN ceramics typically exhibit a dense, glassy or polymeric-like microstructure when amorphous. Their mechanical properties include
The synthesis of SiCN materials can be achieved through various methods, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD),
