Abstract
- Si<subscript>2</subscript> N<subscript>2</subscript> O ceramics were prepared by plasma activated sintering using nanosized amorphous Si<subscript>3</subscript> N<subscript>4</subscript> powder without sintering additives within a temperature range of 1400°C-1600°C in vacuum. A mixed Si- N<subscript>4− n</subscript>- O<subscript> n</subscript> ( n = 0, 1...4) amorphous structure was formed in the process of sintering, and Si<subscript>2</subscript> N<subscript>2</subscript> O crystals were nucleated where the local structure was similar with Si<subscript>2</subscript> N<subscript>2</subscript> O. After sintering at 1600°C, the Si<subscript>2</subscript> N<subscript>2</subscript> O ceramic was composed of elongated plate-like Si<subscript>2</subscript> N<subscript>2</subscript> O grains and amorphous phase. The Si<subscript>2</subscript> N<subscript>2</subscript> O grains showed a width of less than 100 nm and a very high aspect ratio. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
