Ytterbium nitride is a binary inorganic compound of ytterbium and nitrogen with the chemical formula YbN.[2][3]

Synthesis

Reaction of ytterbium hydride and ammonia at 800°C:[4]

2YbH2 + 2NH3 → 2YbN + 5H2

Reaction of ytterbium and nitrogen with an admixture of hydrogen under pressure at 500–600°C::

2Yb + N2 → 2YbN

Physical properties

YbN forms black powder. The compound is notable for its high melting point.[5]

Uses

YbN holds potential applications in the fields of electronics and optics.[5]

Also used as an additive for special alloys, ceramic materials, semiconductors.[6]
