Assessing the performance of the recent non-empirical semilocal density functionals on describing the lattice constants, bulk moduli and cohesive energies of alkali, alkaline-earth, and transition metals

Subrata Jana, Kedar Sharma, Prasanjit Samal

The bulk properties (lattice constants, bulk moduli, and cohesive energies) of alkali, alkaline-earth, and transition metals are studied within the framework of the recently develo…
