摘要
Cubic copper nitride (Cu3N) has anti-perovskite structure, and its properties are strongly affected by anisotropic thermal vibrations of copper atoms. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations were performed in the temperature range from 300 K to 700 K in order to probe the details of Cu3N lattice dynamics. The Cu K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectrum of bulk Cu3N was used to validate AIMD simulations at 300 K. The AIMD results suggest strong anharmonicity of the Cu-N and Cu-Cu bonds, the rigidity of NCu 6 octahedra and strong correlation in atomic motion within -N-Cu-N- atom chains as well as support anisotropy of copper thermal vibrations.
