Calculation the bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation. The energy is plotted relative to the minimum energy for each case, -266.22 eV/atom in Fireball and -266.366 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials N.pbe-mt_fhi.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 = 4.5 (bohr), rp = 4.5 (bohr), rd = 4.5 (bohr), and was generate like qs = 2.0, qp = 2.2, qd = 0.0, . The orbital d had been generated from the ion with charge qs = 1.4, qp = 0.0, qd = 1.4.
