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, -129.33 eV/atom in Fireball and -1908.68 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials Ta.pbe-spn-rrkjus_psl.1.0.0.UPF . a0 and B0 are the equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation of state.
