Abstract

The atomic origins of the intrinsic mechanical and thermal properties of the interfaces between niobium and its carbides and silicides are explored using both the layer Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (LKKR) technique and model cluster calculations. The relative stability of an idealised [100] interface is predicted from charge transfer arguments.
