The electronic structure and physical properties of  have been investigated using the self-consistent full potential nonorthogonal local orbital minimum basis scheme based on the density functional theory. In the band structure of  Hf 5d and V 3d states play important roles near the Fermi level. The important feature of density of states for  is the overlapping of d states from Hf and V near the Fermi level, which implies hybridization between Hf-d and V-d states of the  compound.
