About Yttrium Nitride YN Powder:
Yttrium nitride or YN is the nitride compound of yttrium. Yttrium nitride is a kind of hard ceramic material similar to titanium nitride and zirconium nitride.
The nitrides of lanthanum, scandium and yttrium have semiconductor properties, and the lattice structure of Yn is only 8% different from that of gallium nitride. This makes YN act as a buffer layer between substrate and GaN layer during GaN crystal growth.
Yttrium nitride thin films have been grown on silicon substrates by laser ablation of yttrium targets in a molecular nitrogen environment. The compositions and chemical states of the compounds were determined by Auger electron, X-ray photoelectron and energy loss spectra. In this way, the reaction of the yttrium with nitrogen is very efficient.

Ellipsometry shows that the film is metallic. We attribute this behavior to a small amount of oxygen pollution. Each oxygen atom introduces two extra electrons into the cell, creating a complex semiconductor-ion-metal system.
Product Performance of Yttrium Nitride YN Powder:
Our yttrium nitride YN powder (CAS 25764-13-0) is with high purity, ultrafine particle size, bigger surface area.
Yttrium nitride is a gray solid, insoluble in water and dilute acids but soluble in aqua regia and alkalis. It has a 4.47 g/cm3 density and a melting point of up to 2403 °C. At high temperatures, yttrium nitride exhibits good thermal stability, which gives it potential for high-temperature applications. Yttrium nitride has high chemical stability and does not react with common acids and bases but with some oxidizing agents at high temperatures. For example, it reacts with oxygen above 400°C, eventually producing the oxide Y2O3. This compound is very sensitive to oxygen in the air and oxidizes rapidly when exposed.

How is Yttrium Nitride YN Powder produced?
Temperature, vacuum degree and nitriding time are three main factors that affect the atomic ratio (Y/N) in yttrium nitride powder. The optimum nitriding process is as follows: temperature 1 000 ℃, vacuum degree greater than 1× 10-3Pa, time 40min. Yttrium nitride powder with different particle sizes can be obtained by the two-step method, which can meet customers' requirements for different particle sizes of yttrium nitride powder. It is a necessary condition for the preparation of yttrium nitride powder by using low oxygen content and high purity metal yttrium as raw material and using high purity hydrogen and high purity nitrogen as reactants.
Applications of Yttrium Nitride YN Powder:
Yttrium nitride (YN) is a promising semiconductor for metal/semiconductor superlattice thermoelectric applications.
Catalysts
Yttrium nitride is a very effective catalyst used in hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. In the petroleum industry, it is widely used in oil hydrocracking 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
Yttrium 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 yttrium nitride an advantage in strong magnetic fields and high-current applications.
Electronics and magnetism
Yttrium nitride is a material with high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, and it has a wide range of applications in magnetism and electronics. For example, it can make magnetic memory and magneto-optical devices, among others. In addition, due to its special electronic structure, yttrium nitride is also used to study the interaction between electronic structure and magnetic behavior.
Because yttrium nitride has a high melting point and hardness, it can be used as an additive in ceramic materials. Adding yttrium nitride improves the wear resistance and strength of ceramic materials. In addition, yttrium nitride can be used to manufacture high-temperature electric coupling materials, composite materials, etc.
