We use the plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory as im- plemented in Quantum ESPRESSO code for calculating various cohesive properties in ambient condition. Further, ionic motion at a finite temperature is taken into account using the quasiharmonic Debye model. The calculated thermody- namic properties, phonon dispersion curves, and phonon densities of states at different temperatures and structural phase transitions at high pressures are found to be in good agreement with experimental and other theoretical results.展开更多

The results are compared with those obtained using few other local field correction functions. The present results of total energy are in good agreement with the experimental data. Bulk modulus calculated by Nagy＇s screening function is perfectly matching with the experimental results for Ge and α-Sn. Some deviation is found in the value of energy band gap.展开更多

Our well-established single parametric model potential is characterized using the proposed idea and compared the obtained parameter with parameters computed by previously used approaches. Thus characterized pseudopotential is then tested to compute total energy of alkali metals. The results establish the reliability of proposed idea of making total pair wise force to zero in determining the parameter of the pseudopotential.展开更多
