Shock‐Wave Synthesis of Cubic Silicon Nitride

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that shock‐wave loading of a β‐Si3N4/Cu powder mixture to a pressure of 53 GPa in plane recovery containers results in a nanodisperse cubic silicon nitride yield close to 100%.
