Abstract:
We report significant differences in high-pressure properties of vanadium at zero temperature and finite temperature when different projector augmented wave (PAW) potentials are used in simulations based on density functional theory. When a PAW potential with only five electrons taken as valence electrons is used, the cold pressures in the high-pressure region are seriously underestimated, and an abnormality occurs in the melting curve of vanadium at about 400 GPa.
