Determining the Nitrogen Content in (Oxy)Nitride Materials

Determining the Nitrogen Content in (Oxy)Nitride Materials

Nitrogen (and also oxygen) determination has become an important parameter to characterize (oxy)nitride materials for many properties and applications. Analyzing such anions with accuracy is still a challenge for some materials. However, to date, a large panel of methodologies is available to answer...
