Abstract
A full potential FLAPW-GGA method is used for the first time to study the electronic structure of hexagonal solid solutions of tungsten carbonitrides WC1-xNx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) and to calculate their equilibrium structural parameters, density, cohesion energy, and coefficients of low-temperature heat capacity and Pauli paramagnetic susceptibility. They are discussed in comparison with similar values for initial binary phases: WC and WN and also hypothetical solid solutions WB0.5C0.5 and WB0.5N0.5.
