Abstract
Single-phase alpha-Ca3N2 is synthesized by solid-state reaction and it s conductivity is measured between 873 and 1573 K. The composition of the gaseous environment is found to have a strong effect on the conduc tivity of calcium nitride. Doping of Ca3N2 with lanthanum nitride redu ces the total conductivity and increases the ionic transference number as a result of the decrease in electronic conductivity.
