“…An intermediate pressure value of ∼4.5 GPa is observed for Li 3 N. According to these P – T diagrams, the lower limit of formation temperature for Li 3 N, Mg 3 N 2 , and Ca 3 N 2 is in the 1300–1350 °C range, slightly higher than that of Sr 3 N 2 (i.e., 1200 °C). Such variations in the formation pressure and temperature are likely because the different intermediate ternaries of M–B–N (M = Li, Mg, Ca, and Sr) are produced, ,,,,,− given by normalL normali 3 normalN + h B N = normalL normali 3 normalB normalN 2 M 3 N 2 + 2 h B N = M 3 B 2 N 4 ( M = normalM normalg , normalC normala , and normalS normalr ) …”
