Abstract
We have been able to prepare nanoparticles ({approx}4 nm diameter) of cubic {gamma}-Mo{sub 2}N by a simple procedure involving the reaction of MoCl{sub 5} with urea at 873 K. The nanoparticles show a superconducting transition around 6.5 K. The {gamma}-Mo{sub 2}N nanoparticles are readily transformed to nanoparticles of {delta}-MoN with a slightly larger diameter on heating in a NH{sub 3} atmosphere at 573 K. Phase-pure {delta}-MoN obtained by this means shows a superconducting transition around 5 K. - Graphical abstract: TEM image of the {gamma}-Mo{sub 2}N particles with the inset showing the resistivity of the sample as a function of temperature.
