“…The case where the sp atom comes from the IVth column of the periodical table has attracted much less attention in literature and to the best of our knowledge only the cases of MnC [8,9,10], MnSn [9] and MnSi [11,12,13] in the zincblende lattice have been studied. In this manuscript we study using the full-potential nonorthogonal local-orbital minimum-basis band structure scheme (FPLO) [14] within the local density approximation (LDA) [15] the case of [Sc 1−x V x ]C and [Sc 1−x V x ]Si alloys for x taking the values 0, 0.1, 0.2, ...,0.9, 1.…”
