Abstract

This chapter provides a brief overview of the synthesis of nitrides and oxonitrides by the ammonothermal method. Numerous binary, ternary and multinary nitrides as well as oxonitrides are discussed. The synthesis conditions with regard to the temperatures, pressures, precursors and mineralizers are mentioned. In addition, the crystal structure of the respective compounds will be briefly described. Since most of these compounds possess interesting electronic and optical properties, the bandgaps of the compounds are discussed in more detail and are summarized at the end.
