About Scandium Nitride ScN Powder:
Scandium nitride ScN is an III-V type indirect bandgap semiconductor. It's made up of scandium ions and nitrogen ions. The crystal structure of rock salt can be grown on tungsten foil by sublimation and condensation. The lattice constant of rock salt is 0.451 nm, the indirect bandgap is 0.9 eV, and the direct bandgap is 2 ~ 2.4 eV. These crystals can be synthesized by indium and scandium melt dissolved nitrogen, magnetron sputtering, MBE, HVPE and other deposition methods.
Scandium nitride is a rock salt structure semiconductor, which is a semiconductor element of epitaxial metal/semiconductor superlattices and has attracted much attention due to its potential application in thermoelectric conversion devices.

Product Performance of Scandium Nitride ScN Powder:
Our scandium nitride ScN powder (CAS 25764-12-9) is with high purity, ultrafine particle size, bigger surface area.
Scandium nitride (ScN) is a very important inorganic compound consisting of the elements scandium and nitrogen. This compound has unique physical and chemical properties and has a wide range of applications in many fields, such as catalysts, electronics and superconducting materials.
Scandium nitride is a gray solid that is insoluble in water and dilute acids, but soluble in aqua regia and bases. It has a density of 5.87g/cm3 and a melting point as high as 2750℃. At high temperatures, scandium nitride exhibits good thermal stability, which gives it potential for high-temperature applications. Scandium nitride has high chemical stability and does not react with common acids and bases, but it does react with some oxidizing agents at high temperatures. For example, it begins to react with oxygen above 400°C, eventually producing the oxide Sc2O3. This compound is very sensitive to oxygen in the air and oxidizes rapidly when exposed.

Specification of Scandium Nitride ScN Powder:
How is Scandium Nitride ScN Powder Produced?
Under the condition of a high temperature and low-pressure system and with the aid of plasma, the high-purity rare-earth scandium metal reacts directly with nitrogen to produce blue-green powders with a metallic luster.
Applications of Scandium Nitride ScN Powder :
Due to the good lattice match between the two crystal structures, ScN thin films improve the performance of gallium nitride devices, which has attracted special attention. In addition, ScN has good thermoelectric properties. In such applications, however, it is necessary to reduce its high thermal conductivity

Catalysts
Scandium nitride is a very effective catalyst used primarily in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. In the petroleum industry, it is widely used in processes such as oil hydrocracking reactions and hydrodesulfurization reactions. In addition, it can be used as a catalyst for ammonia synthesis, and its activity is comparable to that of the Pt-Re system.
Superconducting Materials
Scandium nitride is a high-temperature superconducting material with a superconducting transition temperature of about 15 K. Although this temperature is low relative to some other superconducting materials, it has a high upper critical field (Hc2), which is not found in many other high-temperature superconducting materials. This gives scandium nitride an advantage in strong magnetic fields and high current applications.
Electronics and magnetism
Scandium nitride is a material with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and it has a wide range of applications in magnetism and electronics. For example, it can be used to make magnetic memory devices and magneto-optical devices, among others. In addition, due to its special electronic structure, scandium nitride is also used to study the interaction between electronic structure and magnetic behavior.
Ceramic Materials Scandium nitride can be used as an additive in ceramic materials due to its high melting point and high hardness. The addition of scandium nitride can improve the wear resistance and strength of ceramic materials. In addition scandium nitride can be used to manufacture high temperature electric coupling materials and composite materials etc.
