Abstract

Mineralizers possess a central relevance in ammonothermal synthesis and formation of soluble species for material transport and crystal growth in particular, governing the solubility, transport direction and deposition processes. In this chapter we review the knowledge on solubilities and chemical behavior of common mineralizers for ammonothermal synthesis. Additionally, we present the current knowledge on intermediates during ammonothermal gallium nitride crystal growth, depending on the nature of the applied mineralizer, as well as during a conceivable ammonothermal synthesis of zinc nitride. Additionally, crystal growth of indium nitride is discussed with focus on chemical processes within the ammonia medium.
