Abstract The equilibrium crystal structures, lattice parameters, elastic constants, and elastic moduli of the polymorphs α-, β-, and γ-Si3N4, have been calculated by first-principles method. β-Si3N4 is ductile in nature and has an ionic bonding. γ-Si3N4 is found to be a brittle material and has covalent chemical bonds, especially at high pressures. The phase boundary of the β → γ transition is obtained and a positive slope is found. This indicates that at higher temperatures it requires higher pressures to synthesize γ-Si3N4. On the other hand, the α → γ phase boundary can be described as P=14.37198+3.27×10-3T-7.83911×10-7T2-3.13552×1010T3. The phase transition from α- to γ-Si3N4 occurs at 16.1~GPa and 1700~K. Then, the dependencies of bulk modulus, heat capacity, and thermal expansion on the pressure P are obtained in the ranges of 0~GPa-30~GPa and 0~K-2000~K. Significant features in these properties are observed at high temperatures. It turns out that the thermal expansion of γ-Si3N4 is larger than that of α-Si3N4 over wide pressure and temperature ranges. The evolutions of the heat capacity with temperature for the Si3N4 polymorphs are close to each other, which are important for possible applications of Si3N4.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
