Abstract
Structural, elastic and electronic properties of diamond-like allotropes of Ti, Fe and Zn monocarbides were calculated by means of density functional-based tight binding method (DFTB) and analyzed in comparison with those for cubic (B1) monocarbides. Our results predict that cubic (B1) MC phases are likely to be essentially harder than diamond-like allotropes. We found that all considered phases are paramagnetic metals, except diamond-like TiC which becomes semi-metallic.
