Theoretical and Experimental Investigations into Novel Oxynitride Discovery in the GaN-TiO2 System at High Pressure

We employed ab initio evolutionary algorithm USPEX to speed up the discovery of a novel oxynitride in the binary system of GaN-TiO2 using high-pressure synthesis. A 1:2 mixture of GaN and nanocrystalline TiO2 (anatase) was reacted under 1 GPa of pressure and at 1200 °C in a piston cylinder apparatus...
