High‐Pressure Stability and Electronic Properties of Sodium‐Rich Nitrides: Insights from First‐Principles Calculations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Using first‐principles structure search calculations, we investigated the phase stability of sodium‐nitrogen (Na−N) compounds under high pressure. Our study reveals that increasing pressure promotes the formation of Na‐rich nitrides, leading to the prediction of three previously unreported stoichiometries: Na2N, Na5N, and Na8N. Notably, the electride Na5N undergoes a pressure‐induced structural transition from a P6/mmm to a P63/mmc phase. This transformation is characterized by spatial reorientation and redistribution of interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs). In the P63/mmc phase, IAEs adopt a zero‐dimensional, triangular‐like configuration, whereas in the low‐pressure P6/mmm phase, they form an interconnected, graphene‐like network. With increasing pressure, P63/mmc phase undergoes a transition from metallic to semiconducting behavior due to the increased interaction between sodium and IAEs. Additionally, C2/m Na8N, featuring triangular‐ and ship‐like IAEs, is predicted to exhibit superconductivity. Our findings provide new insights into the behavior and stability of Na‐rich nitrides under high‐pressure conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
