Theoretical study of the pressure-induced structure, phase transition, mechanical and electronic properties in the V-N system

Jin Zhang, Xinfeng Li, Xiao Dong +2

Stable compounds in the V-N system are systematically searched and four new high-pressure phases are found, including C2/m-V${}_9$N, Pbam-V${}_5$N${}_2$, Pnma-V${}_2$N and I4/mcm-VN${}_2$. V…
