摘要
The electronic properties of cubic (B1-type) thorium carbide (ThC), nitride (ThN) and meta-stable monoxide (ThO) were calculated systematically using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation potential (LAPW-GGA). The structural parameters, bulk modulii, electronic bands, densities of states (DOS), charge distributions were obtained and compared with available experimental data and other calculations. The theoretical spectra of non-metal K-edge X-ray emission (XES) and absorption (XAS) of these materials are presented and discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
