Abstract
This chapter gives the general characteristics of strongly nonstoichiometric compounds which are interstitial phases and it describes their crystal structures and homogeneity intervals. Also the principal methods of preparing nonstoichiometric carbides and nitrides are described. The position of the lower boundary of the homogeneity interval is discussed in detail. The last section presents a systematic review of experimental data on ordering in strongly nonstoichiometric compounds and their solid solutions.
