Abstract

The system V–N is investigated by X‐rays, electron diffraction, and electron microscopy in the composition range 0 up to 25 at% N. The solid solubility of nitrogen is determined in the temperature range 500 up to 1200 °C. Two phases are formed upon quenching. The first is the V₈N tetragonal phase. A supercell of the vanadium cell is proposed (a = b = 2a_o √2, c = c_o). The transformation b.c.c. → b.c.t. gives rise to a particular twinned configuration. The domains are related by a reflection twin (101)_t, taking into account a supplementary rotation due to the tetragonal deformation. A new pseudo‐orthorhombic phase V₄N is analysed. This phase is isomorphous to Ta₄N. The domain structure is described using a reflection twin (110)_o and a rotation twin (130)_o.
