Point defects in the group IVb transition metal carbides and nitrides are investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. We focus on a description of a complex vacancy behavior of the sub-stoichiometric carbides and nitrides and find a strong tendency toward vacancy clustering in the carbides. Our results demonstrate that a special type of a stable point defect, a metal vacancy dressed'' in a shell of six carbon vacancies can be a dominant type of metal-vacancy-containing defect in the carbon-deficient sub-stoichiometric carbides, whereas the simplest point defects appear to be dominant in the nitrogen-deficient sub-stoichiometric nitrides. We also show that such clusters are strongly bound in carbides and that temperature has a relatively small effect on the overall defect stability of group IVb transition metal carbides and nitrides.
