The electronic structure of hypothetical Nb3Si and V3In
Description
Self-consistent LMTO (Linear Muffin Tin Orbital) band calculations have been performed for Nb3Si and V3In. Calculated pressures show agreement with the results from existing Nb3X and V3X compounds, when the lattice parameters are 5.125 and 5.025 A (+- 0.025 A) respectively. At these lattice dimensions, the superconducting transition temperatures are predicted to be approximately 18 K for Nb3Si and 31 K for V3In. (author)
