Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
This work studies the ternary Si-C-N phases SiC2N4 and Si2CN4, exploiting an analogy between the NCN and O groups. Starting from the molecular model of N,N8-bis(trimethylsilyl)-carbodiimide and proceeding to extended models, we calculate that the energy hypersurface associated with the Si-N5C bond angle wN is very shallow, for both molecular and extended structures. We propose a crystal structure for the low-temperature modification a-SiC2N4 in space group P4322 ~95!, which is 40 meV (;4 kJ/mol) lower in energy than an ideal cubic arrangement in space group Pn3¯m. A second structure, b-SiC2N4 @space group P4¯ n2 ~118!#, is slightly higher in energy than a-SiC2N4, but still more stable than the cubic structure, and may be the high-temperature structure of SiC2N4. Both variants of SiC2N4 show a small bulk modulus of about 8 GPa (;0.13 Mbar), suggesting a high compressibility of these nonoxide covalently bonded materials. For Si2CN4 we refined the crystal structure of the compound within the experimentally determined space group Aba2 ~41!. We also found a second candidate nearly equal in energy, with space group Cmc21, differing only in the connection pattern of the SiN2 layered sheets. Both ternary compounds appear to be thermodynamically unstable with respect to decomposition into Si3N4, C, and molecular N2. (S0163-1829~99!02629-6)
