Polytypism of Incommensurately Modulated Structures of Crystalline Bromine upon Molecular Dissociation under High Pressure
Yuqing Yin, Andrey Aslandukov, Maxim Bykov +14
Polytypism of incommensurately modulated structures was hitherto unobserved. Here, we found the phenomenon in simple halogen systems of bromine and iodine upon molecular dissociati…
Revealing Phosphorus Nitrides up to the Megabar Regime: Synthesis of alpha-P3N5, delta-P3N5 and PN2
Dominique Laniel, Florian Trybel, Adrien Neri +14
Non-metal nitrides are an exciting field of chemistry, featuring a significant number of compounds that can possess outstanding material properties. This characteristic relies on m…
Aromatic Hexazine [N6]4- Anion Revealed in the Complex Structure of the High-Pressure Potassium Nitride K9N56
Dominique Laniel, Florian Trybel, Yuqing Yin +13
Recent high-pressure synthesis of pentazolates and subsequent stabilization of the aromatic [N5]- anion at atmospheric pressure had an immense impact on nitrogen chemistry. Here, w…
Comparing the Corrosion of Uranium Nitride and Uranium Dioxide Surfaces with H2O2
E. Lawrence Bright, S. Rennie, A. Siberry +4
Uranium mononitride, UN, is considered a potential accident tolerant fuel due to its high uranium density, high thermal conductivity, and high melting point. Compared with the rela…
