Description

Using fully relativistic norm-conserving pseudopotentials, we calculate the energy bands, cohesive energy, equilibrium lattice constant, and bulk modulus of Mo and W and compare the results with several recent all-electron and pseudopotential calculations. Comparing these cohesive energies with those we have calculated elsewhere for MoSi2, WSi2, and Si we also obtain MoSi2 and WSi2 heats of formation
