提交脚本运算后得到ev.out。
利用vaspkit软件进行状态方程拟合。

vaspkit需要准EOS.in文件,文件格式及说明如下:

 cname               : name of crystal up to 256 characters
 natoms              : number of atoms in unit cell
 etype               : equation of state type (see below)
 vplt1, vplt2, nvplt : volume interval over which to plot energy, pressure etc.
                       as well as the number of points in the plot
 nevpt               : number of energy-volume points to be inputted
 vpt(i) ept(i)       : energy-volume points (VASP units)

Note that the input units are VASP default untis (i.e., A^3 and eV).

The equations of state currently implemented are:
 1. Universal EOS (Vinet P et al., J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 1, p1941 (1989))
 2. Murnaghan EOS (Murnaghan F D, Am. J. Math. 49, p235 (1937))
 3. Birch-Murnaghan 3rd-order EOS (Birch F, Phys. Rev. 71, p809 (1947))
 4. Birch-Murnaghan 4th-order EOS
 5. Natural strain 3rd-order EOS (Poirier J-P and Tarantola A, Phys. Earth
    Planet Int. 109, p1 (1998))
 6. Natural strain 4th-order EOS
 7. Cubic polynomial in (V-V0)

 V0 (A^3)          =            163.6206779
 E0 (eV)           =           -43.39626828

 B0'               =            4.260966253
 
 B0 (GPa)          =            87.75507591

通过平衡体积可以得到晶格常数 a 0 = 5.4694803016 a_0=5.4694803016 a0=5.4694803016

如果不想状态方程拟合,在较高精度下直接使用 I S I F = 3 ISIF = 3 ISIF=3 的参数直接弛豫优化晶胞。
