Abstract

Abstract The present state of knowledge of the phase relations and thermodynamic properties of the uranium-nitrogen system is given. Emphasis is placed on the nonstoichiometric and thermodynamic properties of uranium sesquinitride. The present paper consists of two parts. The first part is on the phase relations; an equilibrium phase diagram is proposed, and the relationship between structure and lattice parameter for the α-U 2 N 3 -UN 2 system is shown. The second part deals with thermodynamic properties of UN and α-U 2 N 3 ; the data on decomposition pressures, specific heats, and heats and free energies of formation are summarized and evaluated.
