Preparation and Characterization of γ′-Fe3SnN

Improved Ammonolytic Synthesis, Structure Determination, Electronic Structure, and Magnetic Properties of the Solid Solution SnxFe4–xN (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.9)

“…Furthermore, Li et. al provided Mößbauer data for Sn x Fe 4 –x N , and compared their findings to preliminary Mößbauer results by Andriamandroso et al, who found a preferential substitution on the 1 a lattice site . We also note that there have been theoretical studies targeted at the properties of SnFe 3 N assuming a ferromagnetic ground state, − but up to now, no comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of Sn x Fe 4 –x N has been communicated.…”

Ternary Nitride GaFe3N: An Experimental and Quantum-Theoretical Study

“…It is well-known from the literature that the magnetic properties can be tuned and improved with regard to a desired application by substituting the iron atoms on the Wyckoff positions 1 a and/or 3 c . Thus, many, mostly berthollide-like, nitrides with the general formula M x Fe 4− x N have been described with M = Co, Cu, , Zn, Ru, Ag, Os and Ir ( x ≪ 1) as well as with Sn (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.2), ,− Mn and Ni ,− (0 ≤ x ≤ 4). The nitrides with M = Ga, Ge ( x ≤ 1) and Al are accompanied by other nitridic side-phases incorporating M or iron during synthesis.…”

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetic Properties of the Semihard Itinerant Ferromagnet RhFe3N

“…The newly introduced atoms mainly control the crystal growth, yielding magnetic particles with a pronounced anisotropic shape and a high coercive field which makes them suitable for high‐density storage materials 10–12. We know—without claiming completeness—of a couple of reports dealing with berthollide ternary nitrides of the general form M x Fe 4− x N with M=Ru,10 Os,10 Co,11 Ir,10 Cu,13 Ag,14 and Zn15 ( x ≪1) as well as Sn (0≤ x ≤1.2),16–18 Mn,12 and Ni5, 19–21 (0≤ x ≤4). In contrast, replacing Fe with Pd,22 Pt,5 Au,14 or In15 leads to daltonide ternary nitrides MFe 3 N of the simple perovskite type.…”
