The band structure of hexagonal diborides ZrB2, VB2, NbB2 and TaB2 in comparison with the superconducting MgB2
Abstract
The band structure and the Fermi surface of hexagonal diborides ZrB2, VB2, NbB2, TaB2 have been studied by the self-consistent full-potential LMTO method and compared with those for the isostructural superconductor MgB2. Factors responsible for the superconducting properties of AlB2-like diborides are analyzed, and the results obtained are compared with previous calculations and available experimental data.
