    Abstract A tribute to Dr. Irving J. Selikoff MD, the founder of this journal, is indeed welcome now more than two decades after his passing. He was known during his lifetime as the US Father of Environmental Medicine which at the time encompassed occupational medicine and much more as industry also polluted the general environment. The 1970s were a busy time as OSHA and the EPA were newly formed and high exposures to workers were no exception. Dr. Selikoff was a brave pioneer examining workers throughout the country and Canada, publicizing their exposures, and writing and presenting the scientific results. Industry was not always receptive and controlled an astounding amount of narrative, with the creation of the American Journal of Industrial Medicine filling a void of scientific need. We four authors write about the ethics of occupational health, the plight of nuclear energy workers, the climate crisis and opportunity for unions to engage workers, and the global march toward educating medical students on workers' health and safety. All four of us interacted with Dr. Selikoff during his tenure at Mount Sinai, and over the years joined each other in promoting his legacy. Toward that end we have written articles honoring his memory.

    Abstract Bulk solid state synthesis of nitride materials usually leads to thermodynamically stable, cation-ordered crystal structures, whereas thin film synthesis tends to favor disordered, metastable phases. This dichotomy is inconvenient both for basic materials discovery, where non-equilibrium thin film synthesis methods can be useful to overcome reaction kinetic barriers, and for practical technology applications where stable ground state structures are sometimes required. Here, we explore the uncharted Mg-W-N chemical phase space, using rapid thermal annealing to reconcile the differences between thin film and bulk powder syntheses. Combinatorial co-sputtering synthesis from Mg and W targets in a N$_2$ environment yielded cation-disordered Mg-W-N phases in the rocksalt (0.1< Mg/(Mg+W) <0.9), and hexagonal boron nitride (0.7< Mg/(Mg+W) <0.9) structure types. In contrast, bulk synthesis produced a cation-ordered polymorph of MgWN$_2$ that consists of alternating layers of rocksalt-like [MgN$_6$] octahedra and nickeline-like [WN$_6$] trigonal prisms (denoted "rocksaline"). Thermodynamic calculations corroborate these observations, showing rocksaline MgWN$_2$ is stable while other polymorphs are metastable. We also show that rapid thermal annealing can convert disordered rocksalt films to this cation-ordered polymorph near the MgWN$_2$ stoichiometry. Electronic structure calculations suggest that this rocksalt-to-rocksaline structural transformation should also drive a metallic-to-semiconductor transformation. In addition to revealing three new phases (rocksalt MgWN$_2$ and Mg$_3$WN$_4$, hexagonal boron nitride Mg$_3$WN$_4$, and rocksaline MgWN$_2$), these findings highlight how rapid thermal annealing can control polymorphic transformations, adding a new strategy for exploration of thermodynamic stability in uncharted phase spaces.

    Abstract Ternary nitrides are of growing technological importance, with applications as semiconductors, catalysts, and magnetic materials; however, new synthetic tools are needed to advance materials discovery efforts. Here, we show that Zn$_3$WN$_4$ can be synthesized via metathesis reactions between Li$_6$WN$_4$ and Zn$X_2$ ($X$ = Br, Cl, F). In situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry show that the reaction onset is correlated with the Zn$X_2$ melting point and that product purity is inversely correlated with the reaction's exothermicity. High resolution synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction measurements show that this bulk synthesis produces a structure with substantial cation ordering, as opposed to the disordered structure initially discovered via thin film sputtering. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy reveals that Zn$_3$WN$_4$ powders exhibit two optical absorption onsets at 2.5 eV and 4.0 eV, indicating wide-bandgap semiconducting behavior and suggesting a small amount of structural disorder. We hypothesize that this synthesis strategy is generalizable because many potential Li-$M$-N precursors (where $M$ is a metal) are available for synthesizing new ternary nitride materials. This work introduces a promising synthesis strategy that will accelerate the discovery of novel functional ternary nitrides and other currently inaccessible materials.
