Abstract

Cerium nitride prepared by reacting the metal with nitrogen at 795°C is inhomogeneous with an outer nitride layer surrounding a core of cerium oxynitride. Long annealing at 950°C produces a homogeneous product. The variation of the lattice parameter of the cerium nitride in two phase cerium nitride-metal mixtures indicates the system must be considered as ternary with oxygen as the third component. The literature value of 5.0235Å for the lattice parameter of CeN is believed to refer to a low oxygen content substoichiometric nitride and extrapolation predicts 5.020Å as the lattice parameter of oxygen free, stoichiometric CeN.
