Synthesis and properties of bulk MgWN in a wurtzite-derived structure
Anna A. Berseneva, Christopher L. Rom, Layton Rudolph +5
Experimental synthesis of theoretically predicted materials with controlled elemental coordination environments can lead to realization of useful properties, such as facile ion tra…
Dara: Automated multiple-hypothesis phase identification and refinement from powder X-ray diffraction
Yuxing Fei, Matthew J. McDermott, Christopher L. Rom +2
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a foundational technique for characterizing crystalline materials. However, the reliable interpretation of XRD patterns, particularly in multiphas…
Ball milling enables phase-pure synthesis of a temperature sensitive ternary chloride, MgZrCl
Christopher L. Rom, Austin Shotwell, Sinclair Combs +4
Ball milling is a powerful synthetic tool for discovering new inorganic materials. Inspired by the high ionic conductivity in LiZrCl synthesized via mechanochemistry, we sy…
Ion exchange synthesizes layered polymorphs of MgZrN and MgHfN, two metastable semiconductors
Christopher L. Rom, Matthew Jankousky, Maxwell Q. Phan +5
The synthesis of ternary nitrides is uniquely difficult, in large part because elemental N is relatively inert. However, lithium reacts readily with other metals and N, mak…
