Abstract The structural and electronic properties of Fe 4 Si 4– x Ge ( = 0–4) with a cubic B20‐type structure are investigated by density functional theory using an ab initio method. calculations based on plane‐wave expansion the wave functions performed local approximation. It is found that these compounds narrow‐gap semiconductors in non‐magnetic state. band gap to decrease increasing , B20 FeSi small‐gap semiconductor sharp states features near top valence band.

Density functional theory (DFT) within Wien2k code is utilized to compute the mechanical, thermal, electronic, magnetic and thermoelectric properties of cubic spinel CoV 2 O 4 . The ground state lattice constant alloy agrees with previous literature. calculated elastic constants predict that present anisotropic, elastically stable brittle. Beneficial acoustical applications are expected for due its high Debye temperature average sound velocities values. longitudinal transverse modes...
