چکیده
for the lattice constants i.e. 11 C , 12 C , 44 C , 44 12 C C − , 44 12 C C and bulk modulus B obtained using the Hartree (H) local field correction function has higher values in comparison with the results obtained for the same properties using Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU) local field correction function. The results for the Shear modulus ( C ′ ), deviation from Cauchy’s relation, Poisson’s ratio σ , Young modulus Y , propagation velocity of elastic waves, phonon dispersion curves (PDC) and degree of anisotropy A are highly appreciable for the alkali metals. The phonon frequencies of alkali metals in the longitudinal branch are more sensitive to the exchange and correlation effects in comparison with the transverse branches. The phonon dispersion curves (PDC) of pure alkalis are found in qualitative agreement with the available experimental data. While, the frequencies in the longitudinal branch are suppressed due to IU-screening function than the frequencies due to static H-screening function.

Calculation of electronic, structural, and vibrational properties in alkali halides using a density-functional method with localized densities
A recently developed density-functional method based on localized densities is applied to calculate electronic, structural, and vibrational properties of 20 alkali halides with elements lithium through cesium and fluorine through iodine. Properties calculated include dissociation energy, lattice parameter, dielectric constant, elastic moduli, and phonon frequencies for the high-symmetry points ...

The one-third paradigm of PBE0 density functional, PBE0-1/3, has shown to be a successful method for various properties. In this paper, the applicability of PBE0-1/3 is put into broader perspective for transition metals chemistry. As a comparative study, the performance of PBE0 and PBE0-1/3 has been assessed for geometries and vibrational frequencies of some transition metal hydrides and transi...

We study the electronic properties (density of states, conductivity and thermopower) of some nearly–free–electron systems: the liquid alkali metals and two liquid alloys, Li–Na and Na–K. The study has been performed within the self– consistent second order Renormalized Propagator Perturbation Expansion (RPE) for the self–energy. The input ionic pseudopotentials and static correlation functions ...
