Attempted preparation of diamond-like carbon nitride by explosive shock compression of poly(methineimine)

Abstract

Explosive shock compression of poly(methineimine) produced a large portion of amorphous graphitic carbon nitride of composition CN_0.2 and small amounts of diamond-like carbon containing a slight amount of nitrogen. Codeposition of the two materials suggests the possibility of cubic phase transformation of heterocyclic C-N compounds under well-designed shock-compression conditions.
