Using plane wave pseudopotential calculations and the generalized gradient approximation, we have studied the structural, elastic, and electronic properties of Hf 2 SnC and Hf 2 SnN . Lattice parameters and equilibrium volume are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental values. Electronic properties show a metallic character of both compounds. Bonds are originally made from hybridized Hf d– C p (or N p) states, and Hf d– Sn p states, confirmed by strong coupling between Hf–C (or N), and Hf–Sn bonding from the charge density distribution.

The letter casts some light on the structural, elastic and electronic properties of C49- and C54-TiSi 2, using an ab initio plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential method based on generalized gradient approximation (GGA). An intrinsic advantage in the growth stage for C49 phase might explain its kinetically favored phenomena in a solid-state reaction.

An effort has been made to understand the charge density distribution of the Si and Ge based diluted magnetic semiconductors. A theoretical analysis has been done on the variation of charge densities when the semiconductors Si and Ge are doped with the transition metal atoms of V, Mn and Co with different concentrations of x (0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10), in Si1-xMx and Ge1-xMx. Two dimensional electron density contour maps have been plotted for all the compositions studied in this work. The theoretical mid bond densities were found out for the compounds which can be taken as the reference values for comparison of the experimental values of the same compositions.

<p></p><p>The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) often fails to correctly describe the electronic structure and thermochemistry of transition metal oxides and is commonly improved using an inexpensive correction term with a scaling parameter <i>U</i>. We tune <i>U</i> to reproduce experimental vanadium oxide redox energetics with a localized basis and a GGA functional. We find the value for <i>U</i> to be significantly lower than what is generally reported with plane-wave bases, with the uncorrected GGA results being in reasonable agreement with experiments. We use this computational setup to calculate interstitial and substitutional <a>insertion energies of main group metals in vanadium pentoxide</a> and find <a>interstitial doping to be thermodynamically favored</a>.</p><p></p>
