Discovery of earth-abundant nitride semiconductors by computational screening and high-pressure synthesis

Nitride semiconductors are attractive for various applications. Here a computational screening study identifies a number of possible ternary nitrides as promising candidates, including a phase that the authors synthesize for the first time via a high-pressure route.
