First-principles calculation of the equilibrium ground-state properties of transition metals: Applications to Nb and Mo

CL Fu, KM Ho - Physical Review B, 1983 - APS
We have used a self-consistent pseudopotential method to calculate the equilibrium ground-
state properties of the transition metals Mo and Nb. From our calculations we obtain …

Density-functional formulation of the generalized pseudopotential theory. II

JA Moriarty - Physical Review B, 1982 - APS
The density-functional formulation of the generalized pseudopotential theory (GPT) set forth

Constraints on the phase diagram of molybdenum from first-principles free-energy calculations

C Cazorla, D Alfe, MJ Gillan - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2012 - APS
We use first-principles techniques to reexamine the suggestion that transitions seen in high-
P experiments on Mo are solid-solid transitions from the bcc structure to either the fcc or hcp …

Cohesive and electronic properties of transition metals: The generalized gradient approximation

M Körling, J Häglund - Physical Review B, 1992 - APS
