Description

The zero-temperature equations of state UO2 and CaF2 have been computed from semi-relativistic LMT0 calculations. The calculated parameters are 1/2% above and 5% below the experimentally determined equilibria for UO2 and CaF2 respectively. The computed bulk moduli are 3.0 x 1012 and 0.71 x 1012 dyn cm-2 and the band gap of UO2 is found to be 5.35 ev. (author)
