Abstract
In this undergraduate research project, we propose a systematic study into the electronic, elastic, and thermomechanical properties of the compounds G--M6Ni16Si7 (M = V, Nb). Through Density Functional Theory (DFT), with the use of pseudopotentials as implemented in the Quantum ESPRESSO code, we aim to calculate the band structure, the density of electronic states, the Fermi surface, cha…
