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, -217.41 eV/atom in Fireball and -382.923 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials Po.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 = 7.0 (bohr), rp = 7.0 (bohr), rd = 7.0 (bohr), and was generate like qs = 2.0, qp = 2.7, qd = 0.0, . The orbital d had been generated from the ion with charge qs = 1.5, qp = 3.0, qd = 1.5.
