Calculation the bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation. The energy is plotted relative to the minimum energy for each case, -1354.0 eV/atom in Fireball and -1670.02 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials Cu.pbe-dn-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF . a0 and B0 are the equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation of state.

The cut off radio of the orbitals in Fireball are rs = 7.0 (bohr), rp = 7.0 (bohr), rd = 7.0 (bohr), and was generate like qs = 0.0, qp = 0.0, qd = 9.0, . The orbital p had been generated from the ion with charge qs = 1.0, qp = 0.0, qd = 1.0.
