High-pressure synthesis of ultraincompressible hard rhenium nitride pernitride Re2(N2)(N)2 stable at ambient conditions

High-pressure synthesis of ultraincompressible hard rhenium nitride pernitride Re2(N2)(N)2 stable at ambient conditions

High pressure experiments may yield materials with unusual combinations of properties, but typically in small amounts and unstable. Here the authors synthesize millimeter-sized samples of metallic, ultraincompressible and very hard rhenium nitride pernitride, recoverable at ambient conditions.
