Title: Platinum nitride with fluorite structure

Journal Article · · Applied Physics Letters
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1890466· OSTI ID:860964

The mechanical stability of platinum nitride has been studied using first-principles calculations. By calculating the single-crystal elastic constants, we show that platinum nitride can be stabilized in the fluorite structure, in which the nitrogen atoms occupy all the tetrahedral interstitial sites of the metal lattice. The stability is attributed to the pseudogap effect from analysis of the electronic structure.
