Al-N (Aluminum-Nitrogen)
H.A. Wriedt
The established equilibrium solid phases of the Al-N system are (1) the fcc
terminal solid solution, (Al), and (2) the hexagonal nitride AlN.
The assessed Al-N diagram is primarily qualitative, because of the lack of
data on the composition ranges of the solid and liquid phases. It was obtained
by thermodynamic calculation and review of the experimental data [Hultgren,E,
26Iwa, 46Eas, 59Vol, 74Sch1, 74Sch2, 78Cha, 79Bor]. The eutectic near the
melting point of Al and the monotectic near that of AlN are speculative; the
respective displacements in temperature of these reactions from the melting
points of pure Al and of stoichiometric AlN are believed to be slight.
The phase (Al) exists stably only at very small nitrogen (N2) fugacities; at
greater N2 fugacities, AlN is stable. The N concentrations in (Al) that are in
equilibrium with AlN and the (Al) solidus have not been measured.
An Al-rich liquid, L1, exists stably at small N2 fugacities. No experimental
data on the Al-rich liquidus of L1 or of the location of the probable eutectic
reaction at its termination exist. The composition of the eutectic liquid is
estimated to be ~1 x 10-11 at.% N. The N-saturated L1, with very small N
concentrations, is in equilibrium with AlN from the temperature of the
eutectic reaction to that of the monotectic reaction; compositions of this
liquid have not been measured.
At low hydrostatic pressures, the nitride AlN has a wurtzite-type hP4
structure. AlN transforms at elevated hydrostatic pressures from the wurtzite-
type structure to a possibly sphalerite-type cF8 structure [68Ver] or to a
NaCl-type cF8 structure [82Kon].
Up to the monotectic temperature, where it coexists with Al-rich L1 and N-rich
L2, AlN is in equilibrium with (Al) or L1 on its Al-rich side. The value 2800
с 50 C for the melting point of AlN was reported by [68Cla], who used high-
pressure N2 to retard evaporation. There are no experimental data for the L2
liquidus from the melting point of AlN to the monotectic reaction or for the
monotectic reaction itself. The compositions of the immiscible liquids L1 and
L2 coexisting above the monotectic temperature are unknown.
The phase AlN9 was reported to be formed by reaction of NH3 with AlH3 in an
ether solution at a temperature slightly above the melting point of the
solvent [54Wib1] and by reaction of NaN3 with AlCl3 in tetrahydrofuran [54Wib2]
. This nitride may be a stable phase of the condensed Al-N system.
