Ground-state properties of diamond

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The ground-state properties of diamond are investigated using an ab initio density-functional pseudopotential scheme. The calculated equilibrium lattice constant, cohesive energy, and bulk modulus are in excellent agreement with experiment. Unlike Si and Ge, a double hump is found in the valence-electron charge density along the tetrahedral bonds.
