Interest in inorganic ternary nitride materials has grown rapidly over the past few decades, as their diversity of chemistries and structures make them appealing for a variety of applications. Due to synthetic challenges posed by the stability of N2, the number of predicted nitride compounds dwarfs those that have been synthesized, offering a breadth of opportunity for exploration. This review summarizes the fundamental properties and structural chemistry of ternary nitrides, leveraging metastability and the impact of nitrogen chemical potential. A discussion of prevalent defects, both detrimental and beneficial, is followed by a survey of synthesis techniques and their interplay with metastability. Throughout the review, we highlight applications (such as solid-state lighting, electrochemical energy storage, and electronic devices) in which ternary nitrides show particular promise.

Ternary nitride materials hold promise for many optical, electronic, and refractory applications yet their preparation via solid-state synthesis remains challenging. Often, high pressures or reactive gasses are used to manipulate the effective chemic
al potential of nitrogen, yet these strategies require specialized equipment. Here we report on a simple two-step synthesis using ion-exchange reactions that yield rocksalt-derived MgZrN$_2$ and Mg$_2$NbN$_3$, as well as layered MgMoN$_2$. All three compounds show nearly temperature-independent and weak paramagnetic responses to an applied magnetic field at cryogenic temperatures indicating phase pure products. The key to synthesizing these ternary materials is an initial low-temperature step (300-450 $^{circ}$C) to promote Mg-M-N bond formation. Then the products are annealed (800-900 $^{circ}$C) to increase crystalline domains of the ternary product. Calorimetry experiments reveal that initial reaction temperatures are determined by phase transitions of reaction precursors, whereas heating directly to high temperatures results in decomposition. These two-step reactions provide a rational guide to material discovery of other bulk ternary nitrides.
Mutiferroics are a novel class of next generation multifunctional materials, which display simultaneous magnetic spin, electric dipole, and ferroelastic ordering, and have drawn increasing interest due to their multi-functionality for a variety of de
vice applications. Since single-phase materials exist rarely in nature with such cross-coupling properties, an intensive research activity is being pursued towards the discovery of new single-phase multiferroic materials and the design of new engineered materials with strong magneto-electric (ME) coupling. This review article summarizes the development of different kinds of multiferroic material: single-phase and composite ceramic, laminated composite, and nanostructured thin films. Thin-film nanostructures have higher magnitude direct ME coupling values and clear evidence of indirect ME coupling compared with bulk materials. Promising ME coupling coefficients have been reported in laminated composite materials in which signal to noise ratio is good for device fabrication. We describe the possible applications of these materials.
Symmetry is fundamental to understanding our physical world. An antisymmetry operation switches between two different states of a trait, such as two time-states, position-states, charge-states, spin-states, chemical-species etc. This review covers th
e fundamental concepts of antisymmetry, and focuses on four antisymmetries, namely spatial inversion in point groups, time reversal, distortion reversal and wedge reversion. The distinction between classical and quantum mechanical descriptions of time reversal is presented. Applications of these antisymmetries in crystallography, diffraction, determining the form of property tensors, classifying distortion pathways in transition state theory, finding minimum energy pathways, diffusion, magnetic structures and properties, ferroelectric and multiferroic switching, classifying physical properties in arbitrary dimensions, and antisymmetry-protected topological phenomena are presented.
Development of future sensor, memory, and computing nanodevices based on novel physical concepts is one of the significant research endeavors in solid-state research. The field of spintronics is one such promising area of nanoelectronics which utiliz
es both the charge and spin of an electron for device operations. The advantage offered by spin systems is in their non-volatility and low-power functionality. This paper reviews emerging spintronic phenomena and the research advancements in diverse spin based applications. Spin devices and systems for logic, memories, emerging computing schemes, flexible electronics and terahertz emitters are discussed in this report.
Inorganic nitrides with wurtzite crystal structures are well-known semiconductors used in optoelectronic devices. In contrast, rocksalt-based nitrides are known for their metallic and refractory properties. Breaking this dichotomy, here we report on
ternary nitride semiconductors with rocksalt crystal structures, remarkable optoelectronic properties, and the general chemical formula Mg$_{x}$TM$_{1-x}$N (TM=Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb). These compounds form over a broad metal composition range and our experiments show that Mg-rich compositions are nondegenerate semiconductors with visible-range optical absorption onsets (1.8-2.1 eV). Lattice parameters are compatible with growth on a variety of substrates, and epitaxially grown MgZrN$_{2}$ exhibits remarkable electron mobilities approaching 100 cm$^{2}$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. Ab initio calculations reveal that these compounds have disorder-tunable optical properties, large dielectric constants and low carrier effective masses that are insensitive to disorder. Overall, these experimental and theoretical results highlight Mg$_{G-3}$TMN$_{G-2}$ rocksalts as a new class of semiconductor materials with promising properties for optoelectronic applications.
