摘 要:The Thermal expansion,Hugoniot state and 300 K isotherm of sodium have been calculated on the basis of:(i)the accurate calculations of 0 K total energies with the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation to exchange-correlational functional and(ii)the newly developed classical mean-field statistics where both the cold and thermal parts of the Helmholtz free-energy are entirely derived from the 0 K total energy.A quite satisfactory agreement between calculation and experiment has been *** approach does not invoke any empirical parameter,which has long been a desirability on the field of material science.
