Two New Molecular Nitrogen Phases near Megabar Pressures

Alexander F. Goncharov, Elena Bykova, Iskander Batyrev +7

Molecular nitrogen exhibits remarkable structural diversity near the polymeric transition, where multiple phases are metastable. Here, we report two new molecular phases. The first…

Hydrogen-rich hydrate at high pressures up to 104 GPa

Alexander F. Goncharov, Elena Bykova, Iskander Batyrev +10

Gas hydrates are considered fundamental building blocks of giant icy planets like Neptune and similar exoplanets. The existence of these materials in the interiors of giant icy pla…

Polymorphism of monatomic iodine

Alexander F. Goncharov, Huawei Chen, Iskander G. Batyrev +8

We applied synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell at 48-51 GPa and first-principles theoretical calculations to study the crystal structure of solid a…

Stabilization of hexazine rings in potassium polynitride at high pressure

Yu Wang, Maxim Bykov, Elena Bykova +6

Polynitrogen molecules represent the ultimate high energy-density materials as they have a huge potential chemical energy originating from their high enthalpy. However, synthesis a…

Synthesis of ultra-incompressible sp3-hybridized carbon nitride

Elissaios Stavrou, Sergey Lobanov, Huafeng Dong +4

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.…
