A first-principles theoretical investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of cubic thorium carbonitrides ThCxN(1-x)

Besides promising implications as fertile nuclear materials, thorium carbonitrides are of great interest owing to their peculiar physical and chemical properties, such as high density, high melting point, good thermal conductivity. This paper reports first-principles simulation results on the struct...
