F. Clement et al., NOVEL LOW-TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS OF TITANIUM NITRIDE - PROPOSAL FOR CYANONITRIDATION MECHANISM, Solid state ionics, 101, 1997, pp. 171-174
Low temperature nitridation of titanium dioxide using monomethylamine
as a reactant is obtained. The first reaction is the decomposition of
monomethylamine into HCN and atomic hydrogen. The second step is the p
artial reduction of titanium dioxide. The third step is the nitridatio
n of the TiO by HCN.
