| contents | Cubic gauche polynitrogen (cg-N) is an attractive high-energy density material. However, high-pressure synthesized cg-N will decompose at low-pressure and cannot exist at ambient conditions. Here, the stabilities of cg-N surfaces with and without saturations at different pressures and temperatures are investigated systematically. Pristine surfaces at 0 GPa are very brittle and will decompose at 300 K, especially (1 1 0) surface will collapse completely just after structural relaxation, whereas the decompositions of surfaces can be suppressed by applying pressure, indicating that surface instability causes the cg-N decomposition at low-pressure. Due to the saturation of dangling bonds and transferring electrons to the surfaces, saturation with H can stabilize surfaces at ambient conditions, while OH saturation cannot because of getting electrons from the surfaces. An acidic environment or surface saturation with less electronegative adsorbates is more favorable for the stability of polymerized nitrogen. |
