Description

The static structural properties of Al are calculated using the self-consistent pseudopotential approach with local-density functional expressions for the exchange and correlation energies. The only input parameter is the atomic number. Calculated values for the lattice constant, bulk modulus, and cohesive energy agree with experimental values within <1%, approx.1%, and approx.7%, respectively
