Abstract

The developments of charged and neutral ternary nitrides during the last few decades have been fast and progressively varied in terms of its preparation, properties, and structures. Ternary metal nitrides of the type MxM’yN draw significant attention as of their overall superior properties such as mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic.  The progresses in ternary nitrides study have become important in the last few decades up to the degree where the scientist is beginning to associate these compounds in level of certain desired kinds of structures. The current relevance of these nitrides overall depends on the fact that they are very narrowly connected to the pure one-dimensional systems that are immensely examined for their remarkable properties and strongly connected to their short dimensionality. Whether its vital investigations to make presently unidentified ternary nitrides or to evolve innovative and prevailing applications, it is evident by going through the numerous articles in this area that regardless of the striking growth in the preceding few decades, substantial is left to be completed.
