Description of Lanthanum Nitride (LaN) Powder：

Physical properties:

Structure: The crystal structure of lanthanum nitride is hexagonal, similar to the establishment of graphite, in which nitrogen atoms and lanthanum atoms are alternately arranged to form a layered structure.

Color and form: Lanthanum nitride is a black powder but sometimes takes on a metallic luster due to its nanostructure.

Hardness and conductivity: Lanthanum nitride has a high hardness, with a Mohs hardness of about 7.5. In addition, lanthanum nitride also has good electrical conductivity.

Chemical properties:

Gold properties: Lanthanum nitride is a metal nitride that exhibits good gold properties. When heated in air, it does not burn or decompose as some metal oxides do.

Stability: Lanthanum nitride is at room temperature and cannot quickly react with oxygen and water. This gives it high chemical stability in many applications.

Magnetic: At a specific temperature, lanthanum nitride will show paramagnetism. This phenomenon is mainly attributed to the unpaired electrons of nitrogen atoms in its layered structure.

Electrical conductivity: The electrical conductivity of lanthanum nitride is affected by temperature. At low temperatures, its conductivity is poor; However, at high temperatures, its electrical conductivity is improved.

Optical properties: Lanthanum nitride has high visual permeability and can be used in optical materials.

 Specification of Lanthanum Nitride (LaN) Powder:

How does Lanthanum Nitride LaN Powder get made?

Direct nitriding

Direct nitriding is a standard method for preparing lanthanum nitride. The technique is to react lanthanum metal or lanthanum alloy with nitrogen at high temperatures to produce lanthanum nitride. The specific steps are as follows:

Lanthanum metal or lanthanum alloy is made into powder or block for easy reaction with nitrogen gas.

Place lanthanum metal or lanthanum alloy into the nitriding furnace and seal the cavity.

Nitrogen is fed into the furnace cavity to react with lanthanum metal or alloy at high temperatures.

The nitriding temperature and time were adjusted to obtain high-purity and high-density lanthanum nitride.

The advantage of the direct nitriding method is a simple process and low cost, but the disadvantage is that the nitriding speed is slow and the purity of nitride is low. Therefore, the method is mainly suitable for the preparation of lanthanum nitride of tiny size.

Second, the nitriding method

Nitriding is a method of preparing nitrides by reacting a metal or alloy with nitrogen at high temperatures so that nitrogen atoms penetrate the surface of the metal or alloy. The steps for preparing lanthanum nitride by nitriding are as follows: The lanthanum metal or lanthanum alloy is made into a block or powder with a smooth surface to facilitate the nitriding reaction.

The lanthanum metal or lanthanum alloy is put into the nitriding furnace, and the furnace cavity is sealed.

Nitrogen is fed into the furnace cavity to react with the surface of lanthanum metal or lanthanum alloy at high temperatures.

The nitriding temperature and time were adjusted to obtain high-purity and high-density lanthanum nitride.

The advantages of nitriding are fast nitriding speed and high purity, but the disadvantages are complex process and high cost. Therefore, this method is mainly suitable for preparing lanthanum nitride with high purity and density.

Third, chemical vapor deposition method

Chemical vapor deposition is a method of preparing thin film materials by reacting a mixture of lanthanum compounds and nitrogen at high temperatures to produce lanthanum nitride films. The steps for preparing lanthanum nitride by chemical vapor deposition are as follows:

The mixture of lanthanum compound and nitrogen gas is passed through the reaction chamber at high temperatures to produce lanthanum nitride film.

The reaction temperature and time were adjusted to obtain high-purity and high-density lanthanum nitride films.

The resulting lanthanum nitride film was removed from the reaction chamber and post-treated.

The advantage of chemical vapor deposition is that large areas and high-purity lanthanum nitride films can be prepared. Still, the disadvantage is that the process could be more straightforward, and the cost is high. Therefore, this method is mainly suitable for preparing high-quality lanthanum nitride thin film materials.
