Contents • Introduction • Computational details • Results and discussion • Conclusion
I. Introduction • 1. To discover the superhard phases of materials is a long-standing problem of great practical and fundamental importance. • 2. The β-Si3N4 (P63/m ) is the prototype material leading to the postulate that β-C3N4 may be harder than diamond. • 3. The possible incorporation of C into the Si3N4 material is expected to considerably enhance the potential as a superhard material.

Methods and successful applications • Ab initio evolutionary methodology [JCP; 124; 244704] • Several successful applications: Nature 2 篇, 458, 182 (2009) (Yanming Ma,The first author) 457, 863 (2009) PRL 4 篇,101, 107002 (2008); 102, 065501 (2009); 102, 087005 (2009); 102,175506 (2009) PRB 4 篇, 76, 064101 (2007); 78, 014102 (2008); 79,144110 (2009) ; 79, 054101 (2009)
II. Computational details • Structural prediction: ab initio evolutionary algorithm using USPEX code. • Exchange-correlation functional: GGA • Structure optimization and electronic properties: VASP code

Bulk modulus B (GPa), shear modulus G (GPa), Young’s modulus E (GPa) of Cmmm calculated from Voigt-Reuss-Hillapproximation. a. V. V. Brazhkin et al. Philos. Mag. A 82. 231 (2002) b. D. M. Teter, MRS Bull. 23. 22 (1998) c. F. X. Zhou et al. PRB 76. 100101 (2007)
DOS of Cmmm phase Both the Si-N bonding and C-N bonding are mainly governed by the strong hybridization between the p-p states.
Conclusion • 1. C2/m and Cmmm phase are the high-pressure phase of SiC2N4. • 2. Cmmm phase has high bulk and shear modulus. • 3. Cmmm phase is a superhard structure.
The predicted structures of Si2CN4 Monoclinic (C2/m) Monoclinic(P21/m) 30G 100 GPa
Enthalpy difference H-HP21/m(β) versus pressure of Si2CN4 The experimental structure (Aba2) will be transformed to P21/m phase at 6.6 GPa, but it will be stable at above 19 GPa.
Phonon dispersion curves of P21/m phase 0 GPa 100 GPa The P21/m structure is dynamically stable.
Bulk modulus B (GPa), shear modulus G (GPa), Young’s modulus E (GPa) of P21/m a. V. V. Brazhkin et al. Philos. Mag. A 82. 231 (2002) b. D. M. Teter, MRS Bull. 23. 22 (1998) c. F. X. Zhou et al. PRB 76. 100101 (2007)
DOS of P21/m phase The Si-N bonding and C-N bonding are mainly governed by the hybridization between the p-p states. In addition, the hybridization between C-p and N-s in the lower valence band also contribute to the bonding.
Conclusion • P21/m phase is the high-pressure phase of Si2CN4. • P21/m phase is a superhard structure.
