Mg

Functional : GGA X Becke C Lee/Yang/Parr

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, -22.62 eV/atom in Fireball and -1720.72 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials Mg.pbe-spn-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.
