Jh. Nguyen et R. Jeanloz, INITIAL DESCRIPTION OF A NEW CARBON-NITRIDE PHASE SYNTHESIZED AT HIGH-PRESSURES AND TEMPERATURES, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 209(1-2), 1996, pp. 23-25
We describe a new crystalline phase synthesized from a mixture of carb
on and nitrogen heated to 2000-2500 K at 30(+/- 5) GPa. This phase, ha
ving an X-ray diffraction pattern compatible with cubic symmetry, is t
he first example of a dense carbon nitride formed in the bulk.
