Abstract: The electronic structures and mechanic properties of MX (M=Sc, Ti, V; X=C, N, O) solids are investigated by using density functional theory(DFT). The results show that the mononitrides have the greatest bulk modulus. Under high compression, the calculations indicate that all compounds will undergo a structural phase transition from NaCl to CsCl structure, and the transition volume decreases from MC→MN→MO. The band structures and density of states of each compound are also calculated by DFTmethod, and the conductivity of this class of compounds is discussed.

Key words: MX(M=Sc, Ti, V, X=C, N, O) compounds, Density functional theory, Energy band structure, Density of states, Bulk modulus
