K

Functional : LDA Ceperley/Alder Perdew/Zunger (1980)

Projection : Mulliken dipole

Calculation the bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation. The energy is plotted relative to the minimum energy for each case, -4.76 eV/atom in Fireball and -13.9895 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials K.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF . a0 and B0 are the equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation of state.
