Electronic, structural, and elastic properties of metal nitrides XN (X = Sc, Y): A first principle study

We utilized a simple, robust, first principle method, based on basis set optimization with the BZW-EF method, to study the electronic and related properties of transition metal mono-nitrides: ScN and YN. We solved the KS system of equations self-consistently within the linear combination of atomic o...
