A polymeric nitrogen N $$_6$$ 6 –N $$_2$$ 2 system with enhanced stability at low pressure

Abstract Postulated in 1992 and synthesized in 2004 above 2000 K and 110 GPa, the singly-bonded nitrogen cubic gauche crystal (cg-PN) is still considered to be the ultimate high energy density material (HEDM). The search however has continued for a method to synthesize cg-PN at more ambient conditio...
