Comment on total-energy calculations of solid H, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs. (Reannouncement with new availability information)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:177462
The presentation of recent augmented-plane-wave calculations of alkali-metal equilibrium crystal structures by Sigalas et al. ignored what is known from both non-muffin-tin- (all-electron and pseudopotential) and muffin-tin-orbital calculations about the ground-state symmetry of those metals, and in some instances contradicted it. To illustrate the problem the authors give a thorough summary of the situation in Li, with brief remarks on other systems.
