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, -276.12 eV/atom in Fireball and -10843.5 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials S.pbesol-n-kjpaw_psl.0.1.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 = 5.5 (bohr), rp = 5.5 (bohr), rd = 5.5 (bohr), and was generate like qs = 2.0, qp = 3.0, qd = 0.0, . The orbital d had been generated from the ion with charge qs = 2.0, qp = 3.6, qd = 2.0.
