Abstract

AbstractPhase-pure tantalum/zirconium oxide nitrides and nitrides were synthesized by the ammonolysis of amorphous oxide precursors. The nitrogen-rich oxide nitrides with variable anion composition and the nitride TaZrN3crystallize in the cubic bixbyite-type structure (space groupIa3̅). The nitrogen content of these compounds has a significant influence on the cell parameters, the atomic positions, and the optical band gap. The results extend the already well-studied Ta–Zr–O–N system by new oxide nitrides in addition to the already known baddeleyite- and anosovite-type phases. TaZrN3can be considered as a thermodynamically stable ternary variant of metastable Ta2N3.
