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, -47.76 eV/atom in Fireball and -1283.3 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials Sc.pbe-nsp-van.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 = 8.0 (bohr), rp = 8.0 (bohr), rd = 8.0 (bohr), and was generate like qs = 1.5, qp = 0.0, qd = 0.5, .
