Quamtum espresso
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, -168.26 eV/atom in Fireball and -164.093 eV/atom for Quantum espresso using the pseudopotentials V.pbe-mt_fhi.UPF . a0 and B0 are the equilibrium lattice constant and bulk modulus obtained by fitting to the Murnaghan equation of state.
Calculation the band dispersion for the bcc structure with the lattice constant of 4.5 Å
