Molecular Beam Epitaxy Synthesis of Ternary Nitride PrTaN2 and its Crystal Structure Determination

Abstract We report the discovery of a novel ternary nitride PrTaN2 synthesized as a thin film using molecular beam epitaxy. The combination of e-beam evaporation for refractory elements and a radio-frequency nitrogen radical source enables growth under a highly nitriding environm...
