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…
Synthesis pathways to thin films of stable layered nitrides
Andriy Zakutayev, Matthew Jankousky, Laszlo Wolf +7
Controlled synthesis of metastable materials away from equilibrium is of interest in materials chemistry. Thin film deposition methods with rapid condensation of vapor precursors c…
Combinatorial synthesis and characterization of thin film Al1-xRExN (RE = Pr3+, Tb3+) heterostructural alloys
Binod Paudel, John S. Mangum, Christopher L. Rom +8
The potential impact of cation-substituted AlN-based materials, such as Al1-xScxN, Al1-xGaxN, and Al1-xBxN, with exceptional electronic, electromechanical, and dielectric propertie…
