Relationship between the atomic characteristics of boron, carbon, and nitrogen, and their effect on the electronic structure of fcc iron

Unified approximations are used to calculate the electronic structure of iron alloys with B, C, and N. Calculations are performed for the lattice parameter of fcc iron and for the lattice parameter after relaxation in accordance with an empirical relation for solid solutions. Laws are found that relate mutual perturbations of the states of the components to the position of the interstitial elements in the periodic table. V. D.
