carbon nitride. Many such reports are based on inconclusive or misinterpreted data on composition, Theoretical studies of b-C 3 N 4 and other crystalline bonding, local order, and long range order. carbon nitride structures indicate that several Nevertheless, many experimental studies have shown crystalline phases are metastable, with high bulk modulus values. There are many reports of that sputtered amorphous carbon nitride with low successful synthesis of some crystalline carbon concentrations of nitrogen (a-CN x , x # 0•3) are useful nitride phases. In spite of questionable data as wear resistant coatings. In this review, structures analysis in a significant number of such reports, of the family of CN x compounds and experimental there is sufficient evidence in the literature to reports of successful crystalline synthesis are disindicate that some nanocrystalline carbon nitride cussed. Important aspects of the analytical techniques phases have been synthesised. Usually, such used to support these claims are presented. In crystalline phases are embedded in an amorphous addition, some of the current studies in tribological carbon nitride matrix. Amorphous carbon nitride applications of amorphous carbon nitride lms are films can be synthesised readily using many highlighted. Finally, several suggestions are made different techniques and are dominated by sp 2 carbon bonding, along with strong evidence of regarding useful directions for future research into carbon-nitrogen bonding. Above a certain carbon nitride. deposition temperature, fullerene-like structures can be formed with high hardness and excellent Computational studies of structure elastic recovery in nanoindentation testing. These thin films display excellent wear performance and stability compared with carbon and hydrogenated carbon First prediction films under a wide range of tribological conditions. They are now widely used as protective overcoats Liu and Cohen 2 made the rst theoretical study of in computer disk drive systems. In conclusion, structural and electronic properties of b-C 3 N 4 using several potential areas for future research in a rst principles pseudopotential method. Carbon carbon nitride are suggested. IMR/379was substituted for silicon in the b-Si 3 N 4 structure, which consists of buckled layers in an AAA... stacking
ChemInform is a weekly Abstracting Service, delivering concise information at a glance that was extracted from about 100 leading journals. To access a ChemInform Abstract of an article which was published elsewhere, please select a “Full Text” option. The original article is trackable via the “References” option.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
