a) The enthalpy per atom for Ca2N in R m, I 2d, and Cc symmetry as a function of pressure with respect to Fd m‐type Ca2N. Inset: the enthalpy per atom for Ca2N in Cc symmetry as a function of pressure with respect to I 2d type Ca2N. b,c) Rietveld refinements on XRD patterns of Ca2N under different pressure and the pressure dependence of formula unit volume. The marked peaks around 9° and 10.6° are caused by CaO with Fm m structure (see Figure S6). d–g) Crystal structures of R m (d), Fd m (e), I 2d (f), and Cc (g) Ca2N. The blue and green spheres represent Ca and N atoms, respectively. The red guide lines in Fd m structure are showing tetrahedral configurations, not bonding.
