Description

Using density functional theory, within the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), we have studied the structural properties of crystal TATB under hydrostatic pressure up to 7 GPa. The P-V curve of LDA calculations is in good agreement with the experimental data. In contrast, GGA calculations predicted a larger lattice constant and unit cell volume than experiment under lower pressure and predicted a smaller ones under higher pressure. (authors)
