Abstract:
The structural stability of hexagonal tungsten mononitride (WN) has been studied combining scanning transmission electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The results show that the WC-Type WN with vacancies of 6?8?at% is more stable than the previously proposed MnP-Type and NiAs-Type structures. Due to the larger vibrational entropy of the WC-Type WN, the vacancy concentration required to stabilize the WC-Type structure is lower at high temperatures. The results demonstrate the importance of vacancies and configurational and vibrational entropies in the structural stability of compounds synthesized at high temperatures. © 2022 International Union of Crystallography.
