Abstrakt: From the point of view of electronic properties, nitrides occupy an intermediate position between carbides and oxides. The main difference between the nitrides of s-p elements and the nitrides of d elements is that, with the latter, metallic states (especially d states) predominate in the upper parts of spectra. It is because of their characteristic electronic energy spectra that the nitrides of s-p elements possess semicon-ducting properties and that the properties of metals and semimetals manifest themselves in the nitrides of d elements. Series such as scandium nitride-titanium nitride are characterized by definite changes in properties from semimetallic to metallic.
