The results of calculations of the electron energy spectrum and the contribution of atomic states to the formation of band structure of vanadium, niobium, and zirconium monocarbides based on the tight-binding method arc reported. The calculations were performed in twoecntrc approximation, taking into account the ns and ( n -
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
