The Effect of Point Defects on the Electronic Density of States of ScMN<sub>2</sub>-Type (M = V, Nb, Ta) Phases

ScMN<sub>2</sub>-type (M = V, Nb, Ta) phases are layered materials that have been experimentally reported for M = Ta and Nb. They are narrow-bandgap semiconductors with potentially interesting thermoelectric properties. Point defects such as dopants and vacancies largely affect these pro...
