Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, rare-earth perovskite oxynitrides have attracted much attention due to their excellent multifunctionality and their application prospects in the fields of optical, photocatalytic, dielectric and magnetic materials. The calculation method for structure stability of rare-earth perovskite oxynitrides is introduced, and the synthesis methods are summarized. At last, this paper states main application and makes prospects for future research priorities in this field.
