In terms of the multiple scattering theory using the crystalline muffin-tin potential and taking into account the local distortion of the lattice the electronic structure of stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric molybdenum carbides MoCl-, for x = 0, 0.17, and 0.33 in cubic NaCl and hexagonal WC crystal structures is calculated. As the concentration of the carbon vacancies increases "atomization" of 2p states of carbon and growth of the Mo-Mo interaction take place. At the same time a new maximum of the electron density of states (DOS)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
