Abstract
A study has been made on how the structural state of the silicon affects the nitriding at 1200–1400‡C. As the initial powder becomes more defective, the nitriding accelerates, and there is an increase in the importance of reactions in the gas phase, with an increase in the proportion of the a modification of silicon nitride, and a tendency for elongated crystals to form.
