Abstract

Description

We report the discovery of a new class of molecular phases of solid nitrogen at high pressures and temperatures by Raman and infrared spectroscopy and powder x-ray diffraction. Unlike the molecular phases consisting of disk- and sphere-like molecular disorder ($δ$-, $ε$- and $ζ$-N$_2$) and reportedly stable over a wide P-T range, one of the new phases ($ι$) is diatomic with disk-like molecules. A second new phase (the higher pressure $θ$-phase) is characterized by strong intermolecular interactions and infrared vibron absorption. Both phases exhibit wide P-T ranges of stability and metastability.
