Abstract We have studied the formation of yttrium nitride in which the Y-atoms were arranged in two common close-packed stacking: The AB-stacking (hcp-symmetry) is the ground state of metallic yttrium; while the ABC-stacking (fcc-symmetry) is the ground state of yttrium nitride. Given the different symmetries between YN and Y, there must be a phase transition (hcp → fcc) as N is incorporated in the Y-lattice. By means of first principles calculations we have made a systematical investigation… Expand
