摘要

By changing nitrogen chemical potential during synthesis of Mn–Ge–N ternary nitrides, both wurtzite MnGeN2 and antiperovskite Mn3GeN ternary phases are prepared. Antiperovskite films are optically opaque and conductive, while wurtzite films with Mn/(Mn + Ge) ≤ 0.5 transmit light above ~ 2 eV. Alloys of Mn3GeN with Si and Al are also investigated. Mn3(Ge1−xAlx)N alloys with 0.07 ≤ x ≤ 0.16 exhibit a cubic (rather than tetragonal) structure. Mn3(Ge1−xSix)N with x ≤ 0.05 maintains the tetragonal structure but becomes cubic when x > 0.05. This study shows that care must be taken in the synthesis of Mn–Ge–N and similar nitrides, especially when materials are integrated into devices not amenable to structural and chemical probing.
