Are there any roles of metal-metal metallic and carbon-carbon covalent bonds for the compression resistance (C11) in the cubic crystal of transitional metal monocarbides? Any references would be appreciable.
Dear Indiras Khatri thank you for posting this interesting technical question. In this context please have a look at the following potentially useful article which might help you in your analysis:

Unfortunately this paper has not yet been posted as full text on RG. However, I noticed that 8 of the authors RG profiles. Thus there is a good chance that you can request a full text of the paper directly from one of the authors via RG.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your research and best wishes, Frank Edelmann
