Accessible chemical space for metal nitride perovskites† Building on the extensive exploration of metal oxide and metal halide perovskites, metal nitride perovskites represent a largely unexplored class of materials. We report a multi-tier computational screening of this chemical space. From a pool of 3660 ABN3 compositions covering I–VIII, II–VII, III–VI and IV–V oxidation state combinations, 279 are predicted to be chemically feasible.

AbstractTransition metal oxides are promising candidates for the next generation of spintronic devices due to their fascinating properties that can be effectively engineered by strain, defects, and microstructure. An excellent example can be found in ferroelastic LaCoO3 with paramagnetism in bulk. In contrast, unexpected ferromagnetism is observed in tensile-strained LaCoO3 films, however, its origin remains controversial.
