Why is it important?

there is a real lack of knowledge of physical properties, such as elastic, lattice dynamical properties and thermodynamics properties of CaZn2N2 under pressure up now .

Perspectives

The ternary zinc nitrides with small hole and electron effective masses having similar desirable electronic properties with the well-known semiconductor GaN and InN would be promising materials for future photovoltaic device.
