Abstract

Tin nitride obtained by reactive magnetron sputtering was annealed at several temperatures to study the thermal evolution and stability of the compound. X-ray diffraction, thermal effusion and conversion electron Mössbauer spectrometry were used to characterize the events. The nitride has different stabilities, depending on the ambient conditions under which the annealings are performed. Apparently only one crystallographic phase of the nitride is present before it disproportionates.
