Thermodynamic Stability, Thermoelectric, Elastic and Electronic Structure Properties of ScMN<sub>2</sub>-Type (M = V, Nb, Ta) Phases Studied by ab initio Calculations

ScMN<sub>2</sub>-type (M = V, Nb, Ta) phases are layered materials that have been experimentally reported for M = Ta and Nb, but they have up to now not been much studied. However, based on the properties of binary ScN and its alloys, it is reasonable to expect these phases to be of rele...
