First-principles investigation of the vacancy effect on the electronic properties in M2AlC(M = V and Nb)
First principles calculations have been performed to study the mono-vacancy formation energies and electronic properties of M2AlC (M = V and Nb) compound. The results show that the M mono-vacancy has a maximum formation energy. While the C mono-vacancy has a minimum formation energy, wh...
