Calculations of the atomic and the electronic structures of 4d-transition-metal nitrides

A systematic study of the zinc-blende-type 4d-transition-metal nitrides, which still need to be synthesized, is carried out by means of spin-polarized first-principles full-potential-linearized-augmented-plane- wave calculations using the local spin density approximation. In particular, lattice constants, bulk moduli, band structures and density of states are reported, and trends are discussed.
