- Title
Crystal Structures of Silicon Nitride.
- Authors
HARDIE, D.; JACK, K. H.
- Abstract
VASSILIOU and Wilde1 have recently reported a hexagonal silicon nitride, the X-ray diffraction pattern of which differs from that of the 'orthorhombic' silicon nitride extracted from silicon steels by Leslie, Carroll and Fisher2. After preliminary evidence of two different nitrides3, Turkdogan, Bills and Tippett4 have now definitely established the existence of two forms of silicon nitride, designated as α and β, with the same chemical compositions (Si3N4) and the same measured densities (3.19 ± 0.01 gm./ml.). Even more recently, the same two phases, I and II, as observed by Vassiliou and Wilde have been claimed by Popper and Ruddlesden5 to be orthorhombic and rhombohedral respectively.
