摘要：
We theoretically study the electronic properties and pressure induced solid-solid phase transition of Li3N by first-principles calculations. The calculations indicate a pressure-induced structural phase transition above 1.5GPa from the ambient P6/MMM hexagonal phase (alpha-Li3N) to a layered hexagonal phase (beta-Li3N, P63/MMC) which is accompanied by a 21.6% volume collapse. Above 38.8 GPa, beta-Li3N transforms into gamma-Li3N(Fm (3) over barm), and the recently reported new alpha'-phase (P-3M1) is not stable under high pressure. The analysis of electronic density of states suggests that various Li3N polymorphs are insulators, and the band gap is broadened with further compression.
