Pressure induced structural, electronic and superconducting properties of VN and NbN: An ab-initio study
Abstract
The high pressure structural investigations of VN and NbN have been studied using ab initio calculations. It is predicted that VN and NbN undergoes a structural phase transition from WC to NaCl and from NaCl to CsCl under high pressure . Apart from this, the ground state properties, elastic constants and superconducting transition temperature are calculated and compared with the available results.
