ELECTRONEUTRALITY IN IONIC CERAMICS Ionic structure : packing of anions with cations in interstitials
Sizes C+ A- (rcation< ranion) The ions tend to pack densely in order to reduce Etotal Electroneutrality Coordination Index (By increasing C.I increase stability) Sharing of polyhedral (sharing vertices instead of edges or faces (increases the distance between cations)

-SiN4
It is a solid solution between nitrides and oxides. Derived from Si3N4, by substituting z atoms of Si for Al atoms. In order to compensate the valence difference, the same number of N atoms are substituted by O. Cutting tools, antifriction rollers, motors components.
