Abstract


In this paper, the electronic and the structural (lattice constant) properties of CaH2, in orthorhombic phase, with Pnma space groups, are calculated using density functional theory. The Kohn-Sham equations were solved using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and GGA+U approximation were used as exchange-correlation potential with the suitable choice of Ueff = U

Author Keywords: Exchange, correlation, FP-LAPW, GGA, GGA+U, WIEN 2K.
