摘要
A systematic theoretical study of the zinc-blende-type 4d transition-metal nitrides, which has not yet been synthesized, is performed in order to anticipate their electronic properties. Calculations were carried out by means of spin-polarized first-principles full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave calculations using the local spin-density approximation. Lattice constants, bulk moduli, cohesive and formation energies, charge distributions, energy band structures, and density of states are reported, and trends are discussed.
