摘要
First-principles calculations were performed to investigate structural, elastic and electronic properties of the first discovered superconducting nanolaminate MO2GaC in comparison with isostructural Ga-containing phases V2GaC and Nb2GaC. As a result, the optimized lattice parameters, independent elastic constants, bulk moduli, compressibility, shear moduli, Young's moduli and Poisson's ratio were evaluated. Besides, electronic bands, densities of states (DOS), total and site-projected I-decomposed DOS at the Fermi level, as well as the shapes of the Fermi surfaces for these Ga-containing nanolarninates were obtained and analyzed in comparison with the available theoretical and experimental data.
