The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Phase relationships in M2O3-SiO2-Si3N4-MN systems (M = Y, Ln (Ln = La-Sm)) are discussed in relation to the compositions and stability of the high nitrogen-containing phases. Application of the carbothermal reduction and nitridation preparative technique and single crystal structure determination have revealed the presence of minor amounts of carbon or oxygen in compounds previously believed to be pure nitrides. Thus, the phases originally reported as Y6Si3N10 YSi3N5 and Y2Si3N6 are now found to be Y2Si4N6C, Y6 Si11N20O and Y3Si5N9O respectively. The crystal structure of Y3Si5N9O is described and compared with other M-Si-O-N structures; this phase has orthorhombic symmetry with a=4.9697(6), b= 16.1192(11), c= 10.6277(17) Å; Z=4; S.G. Pbcm (no. 57); R1 =0.0307, wR2=0.0748.
