The Laser Ablation Production of Platinum Nitride and its Possible Structure
G. Soto, M. G. Moreno-Armenta
The synthesis of platinum nitride by the laser ablation method is reported. The spectroscopic results show that nitrogen is in interstitial sites of platinum as N-units, contradict…
Theoretical study on the possibility of bipolar doping of ScN
G. Soto, M. G. Moreno-Armenta, A. Reyes-Serrato
Scandium nitride (ScN) is a semiconducting transition metal nitride for which there are not identified dopants. We present local density functional calculations, in supercell appro…
First Principles Study on the Formation of Yttrium Nitride in Cubic and Hexagonal Phases
G. Soto, M. G. Moreno-Armenta, A. Reyes-Serrato
We have studied the formation of yttrium nitride in which the Y-atoms were arranged in two common close-packed stacking: The AB-stacking (hcp-symmetry) is the ground state of metal…
Beryllium nitride thin film grown by reactive laser ablation
G. Soto, J. A. Diaz, R. Machorro +2
Beryllium nitride thin films were grown on silicon substrates by laser ablating a beryllium foil in molecular nitrogen ambient. The composition and chemical state were determined w…
