“…The intensified interest in these transition metals (TMs) carbides and nitrides stems from the fact that they display a number of unique properties, including extremely high melting temperature and hardness, as well as high thermal and electrical conductivity and chemical stability [2]. The combination of such properties make these materials potential candidates for a variety of high temperature structural applications that gave rise to a number of theoretical studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and experimental investigation [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

The 4d-transition-metals carbides (ZrC, NbC) and nitrides (ZrN, NbN) in the rocksalt structure, as well as their ternary alloys, have been recently studied by means of a first-principles full potential linearized augmented plane waves method within the local density approximation. These materials are important because of their interesting mechanical and physical properties, which make them suitable for many technological applications. Here, by using a simple theoretical model, we estimate the bulk moduli of their ternary alloys ZrxNb1−xC and ZrxNb1−xN in terms of the bulk moduli of the end members alone. The results are comparable to those deduced from the first-principles calculations.
