Abstract

High temperature oxidative solution calorimetry is a versatile technique for obtaining enthalpies of formation of nitrides and oxynitrides. In this method, the solid phase is dissolved in a molten oxide solvent (sodium molybdate or an alkali borate) while oxygen gas is bubbled through the melt. The nitrogen is evolved as N2 and the final state is a dilute solution of dissolved oxides in the solvent. A thermochemical cycle may then be written to obtain the enthalpy of formation. The energetics of silicon nitride and of binary and ternary nitrides are discussed to illustrate the methodology.
