Abstract

The structural and electronic properties of vanadium borides have been obtained from DFT calculations. The calculated value of the enthalpy of formation of C32-VB2 compound is in good agreement with the experimental one. The calculated values of the lattice parameters at T = 0 K agree well with the experimental values. The total and partial electronic densities of states have been computed. Special features of the V electronic partial density of states have been evidenced and correlated to the local environment of the atoms and their charge.
