Gibbs2: A new version of the quasi-harmonic model code. I. Robust treatment of the static data
Description
This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract We describe in this article the techniques developed for the robust treatment of the static energy versus volume theoretical curve in the new version of the quasi-harmonic model code [Comput. Phys. Commun. 158 (2004) 57]. An average of strain polynomials is used to determine, as precisely as the input data allow it, the equilibrium properties and the derivatives of the static E (V) curve. The method provides a conservative estimation of the error bars associated to the fitting procedure ...
