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, -105.98 eV/atom in Fireball and -154.2415 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials Si.pbesol-n-rrkjus_psl.0.1.UPF . a0 and B0 are the equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation of state.
